A business card is just what it sounds like—an electronic representation of the information normally found on a paper business card. Every entry in a contacts list automatically has a business card created for it. You can insert these cards into e-mail messages to send contact information to e-mail recipients. When you do so, a visual representation of the business card is added to the message and a VCF file is attached to the message. The recipient can use the VCF file to quickly add the contact information to his or her own Contacts list.

To send a business card with an e-mail message:

1. Click the Business Card button in the Include group of the Message tab on the Ribbon. The menu that is displayed lists recently sent business cards.
2. Select the card you want to send, or select Other Business Cards to select from your Contacts list.
3. If you selected Other Business Cards, Outlook displays the Insert Business Card dialog box, as shown in Figure 27-43.
4. If you have more than one address book, select the desired one from the Look In list.
5. Click the contact whose business card you want to include. The card is previewed in the lower part of the dialog box.
6. If you want to include more than one card, hold down Ctrl while clicking.
7. Click OK.
