Salut Nabil.
I already started working with lettre.cls, but never went deeply into the
fax part. In fact, I stopped when I got the very minimum I needed. lazzy
boy!
So I havent exactly your answer, but this file may help you anyway.
There is a lot of thing a layout can do, by putting LaTeX cod einto the
Preamble.
Here, the idea was to get rid of the imposed order of letter and so on
classes( I like to write a letter as I am used to see it). So each layout,
instead of using the Latex command, declared a variables. The appropriate
latex construction is done once a new "lettre" or "fax" is encountered
(with lettre.cls there may be more than one on a file), and when the "fin
de fichier" layout is encountered.
So, for the fax, you could declare a "numero du destinataire" and a
"destinataire" layouts, which set LaTeX variables destNumber and destId,
and then when buildind the correct LaTeX output use
\telefax{\destNumber}{\destId}
If you adopt this scheme, I will be glad to use your layout (I insist to
make LyX lettre layout "order insensitive"). And maybe I could find some
time to help you a little bit (but remember, I am lazzy).
Anyway, if my draft can help you, here it is.
Have fun
Alain
