With my Canon LiDE 70, I can specify which application I want to scan to. In many cases, there is no real workaround for this issue unless you can specify the actions of your scan buttons. For instance the “Send to-> Mail Recipient” feature. Many other applications will behave the same way when they generate an email. Simple MAPI does not allow all features from Outlook to be loaded or used, including signatures. Most scan applications will use Simple MAPI to generate the message. Sadly this is a limitation that is caused by the way that Outlook is initiated by the scan application. How can I scan to email without losing my signature? If I scan it to disk first and then use the right click option "Send to-> Mail Recipient" then the same thing happens. However, when I do that, my signature does not show up in the newly created message.
