Cannot open attachments with .vcf files

[ralphiedee]

Real simple to explain yet I can't find a solution, I'll try here. I have Outlook 2003 SP2, a co worker at another location with the same email program sent me an email with contacts in the attachments, so I would be able to open his mail click on each file (.vcf ) and save them in my contacts folder. Clear?

When I recieved his e mail and I opened I see the files in the attached but they show up as regular.msg files and only open as text. Clear?

I have 2 pc's in my network, both have Outlook 2003 SP2 and I have the same problem in those pc's as well.

Clear?

The person sending the vcard attachments to others have no problem opening the files.

what I tried so far,

forwarding the mail to somone else and they open with no problem

the attachments in the mail I cannot open where made the following way.

contact folder in O look, select 2or 3 contacts, select forward as v card. contacts no appear in attached file.

I did the same and I see the .vcf in the attached, I sent the mail to myself and that is the only time I see the attachement as a .vcf file and able to open.

Can someone help me here because this is causing havoc for me.
