What info is sent along with a vCard?

[Michael Brasstacks]

When I send a vCard to someone, what info goes along with the contact
information. For example, does all the activity info I have stored/linked to
the ACTIVITY tab go along with that vCard? It appears that way when I did a
tes? Is there anyway to send JUST the contact information?

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. 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.
