Default Vcard information lost in transit

Did you send a vCard .vcf file or a full contact? vCards don't support all the fields that full contacts do.

To send a full contact, create a new message in rich-text format and insert the item as an attachment. The other person will need Outlook, of course.

This just happened to me, as well! I forwarded a vCard from Contacts that
had 4 different phone numbers (Business, Assistant, Business Fax, Other Fax),
and when it arrived it only had 2 phone numbers (Business, Business Fax).

Did you ever find a way to fix this problem?

For Office 2003:

When sending a vcard (forward as vcard), information on the vcard is lost in
transit to the recipient. Specifically, the category assigned to the vcard.
Sometimes, however, it comes through as the category for the mail message
instead. Also, information that was inputted into a toggle choice (business,
home, etc) is lost. I am not using the "notes" section, the common place to
have this problem (or so I have read).

I posted this problem before and that post was ironically lost. I am hoping
someone can help or at least relate to this problem.
