Outlook vCard export/import including contact's photo

[DrBrain]

Is this possible? It looks like Outlook 2003sp1 ignores contact's photo
on exporting the vCard, and if I try to import a vCard of my own with
the following PHOTO attribute

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
.......
PHOTO;ENCODING=BASE64;TYPE=JPEG:/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEASABIAAD/2wBDAAsICAgJCAwJCQwRCwoLERQPDAwPFBcSEhISEhcYExQU
FBQTGBYaGxwbGhYiIiQkIiIuLi4uLjAwMDAwMDAwMDD/2wBDAQwMDBAQEBcRERcYFBM.....
//9k=
END:VCARD

it is also ignored (although the rest of the vCard attributes are
correctly imported). Any ideas?


Thanks!

Outlook 2003 does not support either importing or exporting the photo as part of a vCard.

It looks like that's one of the fields MS doesn't support in Outlook.
