Greetings,
I use outlook 2000. When I send a vcard attachment to someone on the internet, they receive a file that is not a vcard but appears to be a message. How do I properly send a vcard attachement to an internet recepient ? thanks, Darryl |

send a vcard
I am sending with Outlook 2000. The recepient is using Outlook 2000.
When I send the email, I see the vcard icon at the bottom of my email message. When the recepient gets the email, the icon at the bottom is a yellow envelop like the message envolope. It is no longer a vcard as outlook doesn't recognize it as such. -Darryl "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... What steps are you following? What email client is the recipient using?

send a vcard
Ah. You're not sending a vCard at all. You're sending an embedded Outlook
contact item. To make this work, you'll need to make sure that the message format is rich-text and double-click the address for the recipient to make sure that it's marked to receive rich-text format. Or, start in your Contacts folder, pick the contact and choose Actions | Forward as vCard to send an actual vCard text file. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Darryl" wrote in message ...

Ah, thanks for straightening me out.
I have successfully sent a vcard using the start in contacts folder method. Question: Can you compose an email then add a vcard attachment without starting in the contacts folder ?
