A method for a computer system includes receiving a fax from a user
comprising a digitized document and a billing telephone number associated
with the user, wherein the digitized document includes a digitized
transmission page including a digitized recipient e-mail address, and
wherein a receiving number over which the fax is received is associated
with a pay-per-use service, optically recognizing characters of the
recipient e-mail address from the digitized e-mail address, determining
an attachment in a format suitable for attachment to an e-mail message
from the digitized document, sending an e-mail message comprising an
e-mail attachment portion including the attachment, an e-mail TO portion
including the recipient e-mail address, and an e-mail body portion
including a service provider identifier, and submitting a service charge
associated with the pay-per-use service against the billing telephone
number.
