You can't.

It's a MAIL and NEWS program.

Why on earth would you think it had *anything* to do with faxing?

If you have access to an "email-to-fax" gateway then there is "no"
problem.  If you don't have access to such a gateway....then you have
trouble.

I wish I could remember quotations...  Something along the lines of:

	There are more things in heaven and on earthm Horatio, than
	{something}

...

Whilst it is true that Pine itself cannot send a FAX message, there _are_
e-mail-to-FAX gateways around the place.  Sending a message to one of
these in the appropriate way does indeed cause it to be FAXed out.

Some sites may run such a gateway for their users.  There are also some
free ones around the place that anyone can use (but the FAXes transmitted
get an advert included on them).

But here's the nub...  Bakhtiar, we (random people around the world
who subscribe to this list) don't know whether your site has its own
gateway (you'll _have_ to ask someone locally if this exists and how to
use it) or whether you're after the free service (which I can't remember
how to use, but that "tpc" may well come into it).

Cheers,
