[magick-users] multi-tiff extraction ?

Well apparently an eFax (3 pages) was sent as an email w/ a tiff attachment..  And when
trying to preview it or even open it with photoshop, only one page shows up.

I did identify FAX.TIF and got:
FAX.TIF[0] TIFF 1728x1108 1728x1108+0+0 DirectClass 1-bit 33.4219kb 0.100u 0:02
FAX.TIF[1] TIFF 1728x1104 1728x1104+0+0 DirectClass 1-bit 33.4219kb 0.050u 0:02
FAX.TIF[2] TIFF 1728x1104 1728x1104+0+0 DirectClass 1-bit 33.4219kb 0.030u 0:02
identify: FAX.TIF: unknown field with tag 292 (0x124) encountered.
`TIFFReadDirectory'.

Then I tried:

convert FAX.TIF[0] page_1.png

and got:

convert: FAX.TIF: unknown field with tag 292 (0x124) encountered.
`TIFFReadDirectory'.

...  I found a mac OS X app called Tiff-sight which was designed for viewing
these fax documents..  It could open the tif and display all 3 pages, but I was
just curious how I could accomplish this with imagemagick.
