View .fax attachments in Preview Pane?

B

Bill Board

I have .fax files (Fax Files) assoicated in my system to the "Windows
Picture and Fax Viewer" so the system know which application I want to use
to view a .fax file when double clicked on it. But in the Preview Pane it
tells me "This file cannot be previvewed because there is no previewer
installed for it." How can I install a .fax (Fax) previewer for it?

I'm using Outlook 2007.

Thanks,
Bill

The maker of this Fax application must provide a .fax previewer. Windows XP
Fax and Vista Fax & Scan save files in .tif format, not .fax.

I don't care about any other program saving files... just vewing them. The
"Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" *WILL* view a .fax file. How do I tell
Outlook to use this application as the viewer?
