Here is a way you can send a fax from within VMS Mail:

$ MAIL

At the To: prompt, enter FAX% followed by the fax phone number, without any spaces between them.

2.7.1 Using Com puFax Qualifiers w it h VMS Mail

To include qualifiers with a fax sent from VMS Mail, enter the qualifiers after the fax phone number. Enclose the fax phone number and qualifiers within quotation marks.

For example:

MAIL> SEN D TESTFAX.1

To: FAX%"1-818-248-525 / AFTER= TOMORROW"

Subj: Test Fax Held Until N ext Day

The / AFTER= TOMORROW qualifier tells CompuFax to hold the fax and not send it until the following day.

It is not necessary to enter the fax phone number when faxing a file using VMS MAIL. The fax number may be embedded within the file and at the To: prompt simply enter the FAX% with a "null string" (two quotation marks.)

Use the second file you created for the next example:

MAIL> SEN D TESTFAX.2

Or, with a qualifier only:

MAIL> SEN D TESTFAX.2
