I am using Winfax because it still integrates with an app I use, it is not
the best, I agree....your point is well taken. I expect to change it when
practical.

The fax software does not really enter into my question in this case, as it
is not part of the process here, I simply used it as an example of the
scanning process, where something is scanned and sent to another program.

Any one have any thoughts about how to embed a document as an icon when sent
from a scanner?
