If I am applying for several jobs within the same company, should I email my resume once with all positions that I am applying for in the subject box, or should I email it only once? Also if they dont ask for a cover letter to be sent- shouldI send it anyway?And can I use the same coverletter if they would be saying the same things anyway?And is it okay to email AND fax your resume?

The answer depends on the size of the company. Large companies tend not to share the talent pool from which they hire, which means you should send your resume to each of the hiring manager. Otherwise, if you don't qualify for one position, your resume will be lost for the other positions. In this instance, I define large companies as corporations with more than 3000 employees. For companies smaller than that, it is ok to send your resume once and list all the positions for which you are applying. However, be forewarned that unless all the positions are similar in skill sets, employers tend to take you less seriously if they know that you apply to multiple positions.
As for sending cover letter, you should always send one! Also, send the cover letter as the email introduction in the body of the email, NOT AS AN ATTACHMENT! A cover letter is a tool to introduce yourself to your potential employers and entice them to open your resume attachment and read it! It serves no function as an attachment.

First I suggest calling the company and speaking to their HR department for clarification.
Second, if you cannot get a hold of them then send a separate resume for each job with a separate cover letter.
Usually each job will have a separate hiring manager even though it's within the same company.

it depends on what the company wants talk to HR and they can tell you. I would submit a cover letter anyway even though they didn't ask for one. Yes on the cover letter you can say the same things just change the job title that you are applying for and you should be fine.
