I was wondering: I filled out my personal Card with lots of confidential data too. What is the vCard actually sending forward ? Work data ok, personal address... Should be selectable if you want it to be send or notn the personal stuff like birthdays, how many children etc idem and the tab 'other' most certainly not in my case. So what is send with the vCard? I think it is a great thing. -- Sven-Brussels GSM: +32 (0)485/389679 OSX.1.1.5-EntX:iBook-PowerPC G3 500Mhz/128MBRam-AZERTY-Keyboard -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
