Summary: | To provide an image transmitting device with which even a user who is unfamiliar with fax transmission or a user who does not have a fax device at home during home working can easily transmit a fax.SOLUTION: A digital multifunction machine 1 includes: a fax transmitting/receiving unit 18; a communication unit 15 that receives emails from an external user terminal through a network; a storage unit 13 that holds a database including a telephone directory and user information; an email analysis unit 16 that analyzes the emails; a transmittal letter creation unit 19 that creates a transmittal letter for fax transmission; and a control unit 10. When an email with an image attached thereto is received, the control unit causes the email analysis unit to analyze the email. When a title of the email includes a fax number, the control unit searches the database for an address in the telephone directory corresponding to the fax number, causes the transmittal letter creation unit to create a transmittal letter according to a predetermined format based on the address and email sender's user information, attaches the transmittal letter to the attached image, and causes it to be sent by fax.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
