Default Forwarding Contacts - coming across as email files

Does the recipient get a rich-text format message?

I have made the setting changes, but still get the same results?

You should be able to look at the title bar of an open message to see what format the message is in.

Check your settings in Tools | Options | Mail Format | Internet Format. The Outlook Rich Text option should be set to keep the format as rich-text.

I am doing the sending and receiving (from my bosses' computers to mine). I
receive the contacts as email type attachments, but I don't know how to know
what type of text it is.

Not on an Exchange serve.

I have tried vCard - same result.

Ask the recipient what format they're receiving the message in -- plain text, RTF, or HTML.

Is Exchange your mail server?

Have you tried using the Forward as vCard command instead?

I tried that, still the same result?!?!

Make sure that the format for the message is rich-text, not plain text or HTML, and that you've double-clicked the person's address and marked it to send in Outlook rich-text format.

I am trying to Forward Contacts from one Outlook to another via email. On
the sending computer - the contacts attach to the email as "contact" files.
When I receive the email on the 2nd computer, the attachments are now
"emails" instead of contact type files. I have been doing this for over a
year with these two computers, what has changed?

So were you describing what happened before you changed the settings or after?
