SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You add an Electronic Business Card to your e-mail signature in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. To do this, you click Business Cards in the Edit signature area of the Signatures and Stationery dialog box, click the business card that you want, and then click OK. When you send an e-mail message, you only want to include the .vcf file. You do not want to include the image of the Electronic Business Card in your e-mail signature. However, you do not see an option that you can use to include only the .vcf file when you send an e-mail message.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because there is no option in Outlook 2007 to only include the .vcf file when you add an Electronic Business Card to an e-mail signature.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, delete the image of the Electronic Business Card from the signature in the e-mail message before you send it.



MORE INFORMATION
An Electronic Business Card is a view of specific information about a contact. When you add an Electronic Business Card to your e-mail signature, you automatically include your contact information in the e-mail messages that you send. The contact information in an Electronic Business Card is saved as a .vcf file. When you send an e-mail message that contains a signature that includes an Electronic Business Card, the .vcf file is attached to the e-mail message. To view the contact information, recipients can right-click the card in the signature or right-click the .vcf file that is attached to the e-mail message, and then click Add to Contacts. Then, recipients can save the contact information to their contacts list.
