Hi, When I scan a document from my printer directly to my email, I receive this message and it will not let me send the document. I cannot scan anything and/or email any documents.


Message below Another application is attempting to send mail using your profile. Are you sure you want to send mail?

Please advise as I have never had this issue before. Thanks Debbie

This is the second such report today, so I wonder if it's a new bug in TB 60.5 or simply a case of the sending app needing to be reminded TB is the default mail program.
