Sending contact "item" to others
If I send "John's" contact card as an item to "Mary", she receives it
blank/can't see anything NO ATTACHMENT DISPLAYS, as if I hadn't attached it --which I knwo I did because of my "sent messages..." The same thing happens if I send a distribution list. What could be the issue? Is the problem when I send the card or when they receive it? How can I solve this? |

Make sure you insert the Contact Record as an Outlook Item in an RTF message
and that neither of you uses email AV scanning. -- Russ Valentine "M" wrote in message ...

Russ didn't say "not running antivirus" - what he said was not running EMAIL SCANNING in your Antivirus. FWIW it's not worth doing that anyway at any time - you are no more protected by doing it, and it uses up more computer resources. |

apologies for misunderstanding. (according to what I seen, there's no
antivirus software at all --company pc-- so it might not even be that. puzzled. "Gordon" wrote: "M" wrote in message ... huh...

Either forward in Internet Format (vCard) or make sure you are using RTF formatting for the address. Do not use RTF if the person does not use Outlook - they won't get the attachments in a usable format. If they use OE, Vista Mail, or Live Mail, the attachment is hidden. Forward as vCard instead. Same deal on a DL - forward as vcard - this actually sends them a text file with the names and email addresses which they need to use to create a DL in their own client. See http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2004/20041105.htm for how use this list for a new DL in Outlook. -- Slipstick 'Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center' (http://www.slipstick.com) 'Outlook Tips' (http://www.outlook-tips.net/) -- http://forums.slipstick.com |
