Re: [Evolution] Composer Feature Request

Ok. I think these vCard thingies are quite cool. I've seen them in my
old NS mail reader and in my old Eudora reader. I never did find out (I
guess I was too ashamed to ask <grin>) how to "get" one. Does Evolution
support this yet? How does one get one of these vcards? How does one use
it? As an attachment?

Thanks for any info y'all have on this. Being in this business, I really
should know this stuff, but it is definitely an area my knowledge level
is less than good.

Peter.
