Help with "Insert Item" and choosing a contact

[Guest]

I want to be able to email contacts to people both inside and outside my
company.

When I create a new message in Outlook 2003 and I click on the arrow beside
paper clip icon to select "insert Item"
I then choose contacts and attach a contact to my new email. When I send
this email to somebody outside my company they do not get a vcard, instead
all they get is a blank message attached.
Does anybody know why the vcard/contact would be stripped and replaced with
a blank mail message?
Please advise

vCards and Contacts are not the same thing.
Which did you want to send?

Then use RTF as your message format.

I suspect that's what he may be doing because he said the outside addresses
don't receive the attachment, a symptom of a Rich Text attachment on a
non-Outlook client.
