Hylafax provides no such facility, but a couple of people have come up with
a workaround.  They write a script or program that takes the comments or 
content text, builds a coversheet, and then submits the single page cover
sheet with comments to sendfax, specifying that sendfax should not generate
a cover sheet.  For an example, see 'tkhylafax', available from 
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/fax/contrib/tkhylafax/"

Note: Some of the hyperlinks (e.g. for the man pages) can only work, if the HylaFAX software and the full documentation are installed on your system.
