forwarding Vcards not working

Hey all, I have Outlook 2003 and I have been forwarding Vcards to another
person who is running Outlook 2003 and when they receive the email there are
a bunch of forwards but no Vcards attached. All the names are there but just
names as it looks like an email forward.

Anyone have any ideas?

When he tried to send me some cards the same thing happened.

Sounds like you didn't actually use the Forward as vCard command, which
means you didn't send vCards, you sent actual contact items. That only works
if you send an RTF format message and mark the recipient's address for RTF.

Hi there, I am still having trouble setting it up so that all my contacts are
forwarded as Vcards. Can you please help?

There's nothing to set up. How the cards are sent depends on what method you
use. To send as an actual vCard .vcf file, you need to use the Actions |
Forward as vCard command.
