Be sure to vote for: RFE 6045 - allow attachment of contacts to messages

Until RFE 20742 - export vcard vcf of contact from web client is finished some alternatives if your curious how / they are semi-technical (not as user friendly - someone should make this a Zimlet):

Move it to its own address book, then in another browser window to go: server.domain.com/home/~/addressbook.vcf

Or if you want to download a bunch: server.domain.com/home/~/addressbook.zip

Alternatively if you know the contact's id # (found in SOAP responses by using whatever tool like firebug or appending ?dev=1):
server/home/user@domain.com?id=448

(other search queries/item types etc)

Then send it as an attachment to an email...

---

You can construct the url in a variety of ways ie:
/user/~
/home/accountname
/zimbra/user/~/
/zimbra/home/~/
/zimbra/user/accountnamehere/
/zimbra/home/accountnameehere/
/service/home/~

-'user' & 'home', as well as 'service' & 'zimbra' are mostly interchangeable/often not needed
-You can also replace accountnames with ~ for simplicity.

Hello mmorse,

thanks for your quick reply. its a pretty old bug/feature request (over 3years for now).

what are the number of votes for a rfe's which get a solution? higher as listed in pm.zimbra.com?

what means slotted (future)?
that this rfe will get fullfilled, in any version in the future? (which whould be after version 6.5 , where 6.0 comes in summer 2009).

greetings
thomas
