Emailing Contacts from 2003 to 2007

[Gordon]

My wife uses Outlook 2003, I have 2007. It doesn't seem to matter how she
attaches or forwards a contact from her Outlook (2003) to mine (2007) I
always receive attachments that are empty. What's the secret?

Just about every option works fine. Send Full Contact in Outlook Format will
be the most reliable. If that doesn't work, post information: method used,
account type, message format. Make sure you use no email scanning.

More info. Interesting. I have just set up Outlook 2003 on XP on my other
machine and emailed a contact. That comes through into Outlook 2007 on Vista
perfectly OK. Why should a contact emailed from O2003 also on XP on my
wife's machine, come through as a msg attachment and not a contact
attachment?
