Add another to the list--junk mail being sent through FAX lines.
Apparently some senders of junk mail have access to FAX numbers
and are sending FAX owners junk mail.  The main difference is
that you can tell junk mail in your mailbox from the envelope,
usually, but you'll generally read anything that comes to your
FAX machine.  I hope FAX owners know of a way to keep FAX lines
private in the future.  I'm sure FAX machines weren't installed
as yet another repository of unwanted stuff.
