I have an interview tommorrow, I'd like to know whether or not it is a bad idea to fax a follow-up letter (thank-you for your time letter) or is it best to mail it?
The reason why I thought of faxing is it's quicker, they'll remember me, because they just saw me, etc . . .
Opinions!

faxing a follow up letter would be bad etiquette...i work for a very large corporate office and only a few have done this...it was not looked upon nicely. however, you could mail the letter ahead of time so that it arrives the day after your interview. this will show that you thought ahead!

Forget that. Hand it in in person with the persons name on it who interviewed you. Get a business card just incase you forget. Make sure to mention something you talked about in the interview; how much you agree with it or it ment to you
Do not email it either or send it as a word doc. I know a lot of employeers who will not open attachments and a email just does not show you took the time to package it up and hand it in.
Do not send it in the mail ahead of time otherwise you can not mention something you talked about in the interview.
Mentioning something you talked about in the interview just shows you connect somehow

no, do not fax. Rather, email the letter in a word doc and also send one in the postal mail with your signature on it.

I send simple, elegant thank you cards stating
"Dear Mr./Ms. Smith
I wanted to thank you for your time and consideration for xyz position on dd/mm/yy. I look forward to being in contact regarding this position.
Sincerely,
Your name"
Something brief and simple to show that you realize they're human, too. Most employers, when torn between two prospective employees, will pick the person that sends the thank you card as it shows you're respectful and appreciative.

Faxing is outdated, either send something snail mail or email it if you submitted your resume that way.

I would suggest emailing it.
