Russ, how does one go about inserting a DL as an Outlook item (using 2003
SP-1)? When I start a new message then click on Insert I cannot find an
"item" option, even while set to RTF. I tried forwarding the DL as a vCard
but the recipient received nothing but a small .TXT file.

Thanks,
Judy

Users are setup to only send in RTF format, not in HTML, and it still
happens.

Attach the DL as an Outlook item to a message in RTF format.

I have a corporate email system using O2K for clients and Exchange 2003
for server.

I have a user who setup a distribution list in his personal contact
list. The members of the list are not part of our corporate email,
therefore are not on the exchange server. This user would like to send
an email to the distribution list and attach his distribution list to
the email so that the recipients who also have outlook can drag and drop
this to their own contact lists and have the same thing.

But, it doesn't quite work that way for all. Seems that some clients
receive the email and the attachment that should be the dist list
appears to be a blank msg file.

I have tested this on my own personal email account and PC that has
Outlook setup for Internet mail (not for Exchange mail). When the
message comes thru the msg attachment is a blank email.

Is there a way to send the distribution list as a vcf or some format so
that other can import it into their outlook clients to use?
