# Blog by e-mail problems.

 * I’ve set up a beautiful system at my work.
 * The fax machine saves incoming faxes as PDF files rather than printing them. 
   The fax machine then e-mails the PDF to an e-mail address.
 * I want to have WordPress recieve those e-mails and put the faxes online as posts
   with the PDF attachment.
 * Out of office people can go to the website’s “incoming faxes” category and read
   the faxes that were sent into the office from anywhere.
 * Thing is… when wordpress recieves the e-mail it includes a bunch of extraneous
   junk and prints out the PDF file as if it were text. I end up with an enourmous
   post full of garbage or the server times out while running the cron job.
 * I really need to get this going. This may be the thing that gets me a raise at
   work. Help.
