Firstly, make sure that /var/spool/hylafax/mimetype is the right place 
for the conversion scripts.  It's probably not.  The default is 
/usr/local/lib/fax/faxmail.  Take a look at the bottom of 'man faxmail' 
on your system and it will say where that path is.

Secondly, "xls" is not the right name for that file.  It needs to be 
application/vnd.ms-excel.  In other words, there needs to be an 
"application" subdirectory in the directory mentioned above, and then in 
that there needs to be a "vnd.ms-excel" script to do the conversion.

Thanks,

Lee.
