Excuse me, but lets return to the ground! The request (see the subject;-)) was:
1. to add twain caller;
2. to add image conversion (BMP-->GIF);
3. to automate the sequence of tasks: scan-->convert-->attach in one
operation.
_This_ request is of the type I'm stongly opposing, since it's a real pain-in-the-
ass (especially TWAIN part: the twain implementations extremely vary), and
besides, it will not be flexible _at_all_ unless a heavy GUI customization is
added. And this, in turn, is unnecessary software bloat. Dixi (I mean, EOT for
me).
