Sue: I appreciate seeing your response to this guy but I have to say it
would
be helpful for you guys to put some warning about this in the help
section. I
had the same panic response when thinking about attaching a VCARD to my
company website. I spent 2 hours today looking for some explanation for
what
was happening or a way to delete the activities tab or lock out the link.
If
you'd just let people know what that Activities tab was for and how it
worked, it would save a lot of time for many users.

You can stop being paranoid about this. No one is monitoring the
activities in your Outlook folders. A vCard is a text file that contains
information about a contact. You can see this for yourself by opening it
in Notepad. It contains no information about activities. REPEATING: It
contains no information about activities.

The Activities page builds a list *on the fly* of items related to the
current contact. It builds that list from the *current user's* Outlook
folders. If someone has activities related to you, they'll see them when
they open the vCard you sent, because Outlook creates one of its own
contacts from the vCard. If you open that vCard yourself, Outlook creates
a contact with your information on it, and that contact's Activities page
will show all the activities in your folders involving you.

If you still don't believe me, save the vCard to your hard drive and open
it in Notepad.
