Abstract
An image scanning device includes: a storage that stores therein an image feature of image data attached to a sent email; an image scanner that scans a document to obtain scanned data; and a hardware processor. The hardware processor extracts an image feature from the scanned data, and judges whether the image feature extracted from the scanned data is similar to the image feature of the image data attached to the sent email. When judging affirmatively, the hardware processor generates a new email by using part of the sent email, and sends the new email with an attachment of the scanned data.
