Send contact information through email

You can send a person's Address Book data (his card information) to anyone who uses Mac os x. Drag a person's name from the Address Book or Address Panel and drop it into the body of a Mail message. You'll see a “vCard” icon, as shown below.

The recipient can then drag the vCard to her Address Book where it will be added automatically. Or she can double-click the icon in the email message and all of the Address Book data will be added.
