Emailing contact information in Outlook 2003

[Bob Tyrka]

I just "upgraded" from Outlook 98 to 2003. In '98' I was able to transfer
all of the information about a contact in an email by opening the email,
clicking on Insert, Item, the Contact I want to send, clicking on Text, and
having all of the information deposited in the body of the email, ready to
send.

When I try to do the same thing in '2003' only the name, address and phone
numbers show up in the body of the email. The text information on the
original contact form does not show up.

Is there a way to configure it so I don't have to copy and paste the text
into the email?

If you want to transfer a contact's information by mail, attach the contact
record to the message or save the contact record as a vCard item and mail
that.

If the person I'm sending the contact information to doesn't use Outlook I
used the Text selection in Item so that all of the data would be sent in the
body of the email. That doesn't work in Outlook 2003. Is there a way to
configure it so that it does?

Sending a vCard as an attachment to a messsage should work for anyone whose
mail client can interpret vCards.
