then open the attachment, which opens the Contact window, and use the Save and Close button to save the contact to their Contacts folder.

Forwarding a contact as a vCard opens a new Message window with the current contact information attached as a vCard file ( .vcf ). Since a new vCard is created each time you forward the contact, you are ensured that the vCard contains the most recent contact information. You can forward several vCards in the same message by first selecting multiple contacts.

Also export contact information to a vCard file that is saved to a Signatures folder on your local drive. Then, any time you want to send the information, you can attach the .vcf file from its saved location using the same procedures that you use to create an attachment. The disadvantage of this method is that contact information added after you saved the vCard, is not included in the file. This may also be an advantage, since you may not want the vCard to include all the information you have about the contact. For instance, you may have the client’s home address and telephone number, but you don’t want to share that information with others.

Forward a vCard

NOTE To export contact information to a vCard file, open the Contact window and select the File menu, then the Save As command. Select the Save as type option vCard Files . The vCard is automatically named with the contact’s full name.
