If I send "John's" contact card as an item to "Mary", she receives it

The same thing happens if I send a distribution list. What could be the
issue? Is the problem when I send the card or when they receive it? How
can I
solve this?


Either forward in Internet Format (vCard) or make sure you are using
RTF formatting for the address. Do not use RTF if the person does not
use Outlook - they won't get the attachments in a usable format. If they
use OE, Vista Mail, or Live Mail, the attachment is hidden. Forward as
vCard instead.

Same deal on a DL - forward as vcard - this actually sends them a text
file with the names and email addresses which they need to use to create
a DL in their own client. See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2004/20041105.htm for how use this
list for a new DL in Outlook.
