MS Office Forum / Outlook / Installation and Configuration / February 2006Signature and Document Scanner
Ref: Outlook 2003 I have 3 email accounts that have disclaimers in the signatures blocks and it works fine whenever I create an email. When I scan a document (which creates a new email) the disclaimer is not inserted into the new email. Help!  SignatureBob Save the scanned document, then use Outlook to create a new email message and attach the saved file.

Is outlook working as designed? In this case, a new email is not a new mail when the email is created automatically for the user? Really would like to avoid using this workaround.

Yes, Outlook is working as designed in this scenario. The mechanism used by the scanner software to create the message is not Outlook. It's Simple MAPI, which calls the default mail program on the machine, which is Outlook in your case. Simple MAPI knows nothing about signatures (or HTML-format messages, for that matter). Thus, if you want Outlook features, you need to use Outlook directly to create the message.

Thanks Sue. Was hoping for something different but ....that's the way it goes:) SignatureBob > Yes, Outlook is working as designed in this scenario.
