well, a nifty scripting would be great like with attachments and mail 
(but no base64 hell or similar). like if you detect it, you prepare it 
with markup, if not, you add an image with an mimetype.

I could even imagine to convert it into html and than sort into an IMAP 
server, letting you access it via your mail or web client.

like

*send fax/email/paper letter message
to pseudoanonymous address (.onion?)

<voodoo here>

*have an auto generated userid/passwort login with (like with anonbox)
*download the file as pdf
*download the file as mark up document and attachement
*forward it via email, fax, whatever.

you just need an server in a good legislation for that.

iceland anyone? there are great flights for 299 EUR from germany :)
