Sending contact information in vCard Format

The second format for sending contact information is vCard, a widely supported format for contact information.

Most e-mail programs support this format, and you may want to use it when you are not sure that all the intended recipients use an e-mail program that supports Outlook items. You can send only individual contacts, not Distribution lists, using a vCard,. To send a vCard, follow these steps:

  1. Open the contact that you want to send.
  2. In the Contact window, click the File button and choose Save As from the File menu. Outlook displays the Save As dialog box (Figure 29-27).
  3. Use the dialog box tools to navigate to the location where you want to save the vCard file.
  4. In the Save as Type list, select vCard Files (*.vcf).
  5. The default name for the file is the contact name. You can edit this name if desired.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Create an e-mail message and attach the vCard file that you just saved.
