I'm using Outlook 2003 v11.8169.8172 SP3 under Office Pro 2003 in a
corporate/Exchange environment. Running WinXP Pro SP2.

Is there any way to get the Notes field to forward when using the Forward as
vCard button (or just CTRL-F) to send a Contact to someone who is outside of
our network domain? FWDing by either of those methods internally works just
fine, but sending them elsewhere (read: to any address outside of our local
network, even if they use our same email domain name) leaves the Notes field
blank. We can export to vCard or RTF and send *that* (RMB Send To mail
recipient), and it
works -- the Notes show up even in vCards if we do that.

In other words:
- email to (in our building): Notes field carries over
- email to (not in our building): Notes field does not
carry over
- email to (not in our building): Notes field
does not carry over

I've been asked to see if there's a way to do auto-include the notes on the
one-click version (ctrl-F) without going thru the extra steps or cluttering
up our folders with tons of vCard files, as we have the need to send these
out quite often.

Some posts I have seen here say that this was a bug back in SP1 that has
since been fixed, while a more recent one suggests that this is just how
Outlook "works", ie, that it is intentional. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Save the vCard to your hard drive and then insert it into a RTF message to send with complete notes.
