I have these lines in apache/httpd.conf...

  Alias /fax/ /var/spool/fax/incoming/
  <Location /fax>
    Options Indexes
    DefaultType image/g3fax
    IndexOptions FancyIndexing
    AddIcon (FAX,/icons/f.gif) *.??
  </Location>

and, in edit -> preferences  -> navigator -> applications

  image/g3fax    /usr/local/bin/viewfax %s


However, this isn't quite what Jens was looking for.


Oh, and this is on an entirely private webserver.  Don't do this
on a public server without adding some sort of access control.
