Sending a contact to an external email
I have a user that would like to send one of his contacts to an external
client. When the email arrives to the client, the contact is not attached anymore. Is there a way to attach the contact card to an email? We are using Outlook 2003. |

Is there a way to attach the contact card to an email? We are using Outlook 2003. If you sent it as an attachment on a Rich Text format message and the recipient doesn't use Outlook, then it's no wonder the recipient didn't see the attachment, since only Outlook can accept Rich Text messages (well, Eudora is supposed to accept them as well, but nothing else). I have successfully transferred contacts fo non-Outlook recipients by selecting the contact in the Contacts folder and clicking ActionForward as vCard. -- Brian Tillman |

Sending a contact to an external email
We use HTML format when sending/receiving emails here and in our earlier
version we were able to send contact cards out to external clients if they do not use Outlook. I did try forwarding the contact card as a vCard and it was still blocked. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Did the other person get a message saying explicitly that the attachment was blocked? What client are they using? -- Brian Tillman |

Sending a contact to an external email
The user has had problems sending the contact card to others that use
different programs. I am not sure what exactly programs they use. The client will receive the email, but with only two or three lines of the contact card.
