Default Unable to insert contact information as "text only"

I swear I've been able to do this in the past...

Create a new email. Select the paperclip icon dropdown and select Item.
Select a contact and I want to "Insert as Text Only" but that is grayed-out
and the only available option is to "Insert as Attachment." Maybe I'm wrong
but I'm sure that I've been able to insert the contact information as text
only in the past. Any advice on how I can do this or was I dreaming?

Thanks in advance,

- Craig

Default Unable to insert contact information as "text only"

In Outlook version 2003 I can do it in meetings and Tasks but not email. I
tried all 3 mail formats.

Maybe you did it in a Task or Meeting before?

I'm sure it was in emails. I used it when sending someone contact
information when they were not using Outlook. I'm able to have the contact
information appear as text only when starting a message from scratch but
can't insert the information into an email in which I've started writing or
one in which I've replied. I guess I could write my email or reply and then
when I want to insert the contact information start a new message and then
copy the text info into the message that I'm actually working on. Just seems
like quite a bit of work for something that I'd bet $2 that I've done
previously.
