Questions

Which mail app opens?
Whatever the phone uses for mailto links. That is often the default Mail app or Gmail.
Can I leave the subject blank?
Yes. Add a subject only when you want every scan to start the same email.
Do you receive a copy?
No. The email goes from their mail app to the address in the code. QR Pencil is not in the middle.
