Business Cards as an email attachment

Hi everyone,

I am running Outlook 2002 SP3 on XP Pro SP2.

I just got back from a seminar and would like to email a thank you note
along with my business card attached to it to all the people I have spoken
with.

I click on insertitem contacts, I select my business card from there but I
notice that when opened, my business cards's 'activities' tab displays all
items linked to my name (emails, tasks, calendar events...).

So two questions:

1) will the recipient be able to see the activities linked to my name or
will it be blank to them?
2) I am doing this right or is there another way to attach one's business
card to an email?

Thank you in advance for your help.

1) No. Those are the activities in **your** Outlook folders.

2) No. The method you're using will work only if the recipient is using
Outlook. Instead, use a vCard. Open the contact, and use the File | Save As
command to create a vCard .vcf file.

Hi Sue, just answered an earlier question sent to you regarding difficulty
sending Outlook .vcf attachments to Outlook Express. By looking at your
answer 2) below I was able to successfully send .vcf to Outlook Express.
This method, of course, sends a separate file as an attachment which is
processed by Address Book in Outlook Express.

If one tries to Insert Item .vcf from Outlook, the resulting email message
is enveloped in a winmail.dat multi-part message that can not be processed by
Outlook Express or any other non-Outlook application. This makes sense.
