Running OpenOffice on the server to render OpenOffice/MS-Office
documents automatically is something that will hopefully work well. If
both copies have exactly the same fonts. And exactly the same
definitions. And there are no other compatibility bugs.

Defining the fax number in an email message is not exactly a natural
operation, IMHO.

I rather do the fax rendering on the client side. That way, if the
client tries to send out a wrongly-rendered file, you automatically get
it.
