Maybe they are receiving in a TIF format that permits multiple images
per file. For example, if you use the ZIF (Xerox's TIF file format)
with the Pagis Viewer (http://www.callwave.com/faxline/exe/viewer.exe)
then you can see multiple pages per TIF. Obviously the sending fax
service must use that TIF format for there to be multiple pages within
it to view. I would expect other viewers, like XnView and IrfanView, to
handle ZIF files. I remember that Callwave (via Faxwave) could be
optioned to send you ZIF files instead of normal TIF files. I now use
eFax but it has been way too long since I received a fax via e-mail from
them to know if their .efx file also supports multiple pages per file.
If one file format can permit multiple pages per file then I would
suspect other file formats might also provide the same feature. Could
be the customer is using Pagis Viewer, or eFax's viewer, or some other
graphics file viewer. You didn't say. Maybe someone who knows what
viewer you are asking about might know how it works, whether it is
displaying multiple images stored within one file or somehow retrieves
the separate attachment files from an e-mail.
