Share Business cards with others

The business card can be shared with others using the email messages. If the user is using MS Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, and 2007, then the business card will appear exactly as the sender has sent it. Receiver can right-click the business card and save it to his Outlook contacts. With versions earlier than Outlook 2007, the user will see the business card as an image. But a .vcf file is attached with the business card. The .vcf file can be opened and information will be saved in the contact list.
