With nothing or 'evince' set as the viewer in Settings, double-clicking a file in the 'Sent fax list' gives a low-res pixelated image that is hard to read in gv or 'Document Viewer' (I'm on Debian Buster).
But if I open the same file from within Evince or Eye of Gnome (say), by navigating directly to the 'faxsent' folder, the image looks much better: it is pixelated but at much higher resolution.
How can I get a better image by double-clicking a sent fax from within efax-gtk's 'Sent fax list'?
Also, because I never get to see how my faxes look on arrival, which is the better representation of what my recipient sees?
[efax-gtk v3.2.14]

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yes this is a problem with some (most) postscript viewers. As a work-around, you can get a better image by pressing the print button and then choosing "Preview". You also get a better image by choosing a "200%" viewing ratio (but then of course the page is very large).
