Remarks

Using this method requires that the fax service is enabled on a user's computer.

The format used for specifying fax numbers in the Recipients parameter is either recipientsfaxnumber@usersfaxprovider or recipientsname@recipientsfaxnumber. You can access the user's fax provider information using the following registry path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Services\Fax

Use the value of the FaxAddress key at this registry path to determine the format to use for a recipient.
