scan issue

[lhelbig]

New to Apple and trying to figure out how to scan a document and then attach it as a file to an email I want to send? Right now when I scan the document it just shows up in the body of the email. How can I just attach it?

How do you scan the document then?

You have a scanner right...?

It actually is attached, that is just how the OS X Mail app displays some attachments like JPGs and PDFs. Depending on the mail client the recipient is using, it may show up as an attachment or embedded like you are seeing it.

I have seen some apps like one mentioned here that will force it to show as an attachment.
