Default v-Card Problem

There have been some bugs related to contact bodies and vCard .vcf files, so make sure you're current on all service packs. If that doesn't fix it, create a message in rich-text format, make sure the recipient is marked to support RTF, and insert the contact as an attachment item.

Is there a problem with OL 2003 or is it by design? When I send a v-Card
from OL2002 (on my office WinNT network) and import it into OL2003 (my home
computer) the additional information in that Contact unnamed field (the big
open space where you can enter any sort of text you want) gets stripped out.
Not that I use that field very much but when I do there is a pretty good
reason, at leat in my humble view. This problem does not come up when I
send v-cards the other direction, from OL 2003 to 2002 (the categories get
dropped but this screwup isn't nearly as annoying; maybe expecting Microsoft
products to work well with each other all the time is asking a bit much).
