Default Can't send contact (list) as an attachment

Thanks Brian. I'll try to explain this to the staff member.

I had thought of that. I tried setting all my format defaults to both
HTML and Plain Text and restarted Outlook each time. None of it
worked. If I sent a single contact in VCF format it came though OK
and can be immediately add to my contacts. A List however came though
as a flat text file even when told to use VCF.


Outlook can't handle multiple contacts within a single VCF file. Attach
each contact as its own VCF file. Alternatively, create a separate PST
and a Contacts folder within that PST. Copy the contacts you wish to send
to that new folder, close the PST in Outlook, close Outlook, then zip the
PST. Start Outlook and send the zip file. The recipient can save it,
unzip it, open the PST and simply copy the contacts in its folder to his
or her own Contacts folder.
