It's OE 4.5 that chews them into unreadable garbage without telling you.
Microsoft aggressively denied this last year when lots of people complained,
but the fact is that they've sneakily gone ahead and fixed the bug in OE5.
So upgrade to OE5 & then you can open your faxes with GraphicConverter, JFax
Communicator etc.
