Abstract

Disclosed is a system, method, and program for processing a message in a network computing system including a facsimile transmission comprised of a recipient contact address, e.g., phone number, e-mail address, etc., and one or more attached files. Facsimile transmissions are managed as fax jobs in a fax management system. For each attachment file in the fax job, the fax management system determines a network address of a computer including an application program capable of converting the attachment file to at least one image in a file format. Different computers at different network addresses are capable of converting different attachment file types to at least one image in the file format. The fax management system transmits the attachment file to the computer at the determined network address and the computer receiving the attachment file executes one application program to convert the attachment file to at least one image in a file format. After all the attachment files are converted to at least one image in the file format, the message is sent to a communication port for transmittal to the recipient contact address.
