Um, how about a little more detail?  Which version are you referring to?  What 
exactly is the problem?

The older Hylafax ebuilds (pre-4.2.0) should have a DEPEND on metamail, however, 
the latest 4.2.0 ebuild uses sharutils for MIME handling.  If sharutils doesn't 
handle everythign correctly, you can still use metamail instead.

new USE mail for notify
Comment 3 INODE64 Sistemas 2004-09-22 09:39:14 UTC
I send a sample patch for use with mail, the script bin/notify use mimencode for send pdf or ps in a mail.
Comment 4 INODE64 Sistemas 2005-01-24 09:31:41 UTC
I have seen the pagina of installacion, cvs, and reviewed all the sources of hylafax and I have not found any reference to sharutils.
However if that I have found it for mimencode of metamail.  http://www.hylafax.org/howto/install.html#ss2.2 requests metamail or uuencode 

in /var/spool/fax/bin/notify and pollrcvd really uses mimencode.
I believe that metamail it is required for send and notification by email

Alrighty then, I'll take a look at it this week (since I think there'll be a new 
Hylafax ebuild anyway).  I guess I need to look more closely at upstream and 
other changes before I let them slide through...

Try the 4.2.1 ebuild on for size.
