It is true that division to pages depends on printer settings. However Word
does keep suh an information based on system default ptrinter within
document header. My proposal is to move this param into MIME headers. Also
for faxes this division is fixed and does not vary between clients

Not only TUI. VPIM / UM enabled clients, could show this info, if they could
deduce it from MIME header. The idea is to provide this information, so that
clients could add this as a feature.
