2011-11-04 21:07:45 John Hein description I am seeing the following header on a vcard from outlook: Content-Type: text/directory; charset="utf-8"; profile=vCard Content-Description: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="default.vcf"; creation-date="Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:39:28 GMT"; modification-date="Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:39:28 GMT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Editing the raw message and changing "directory" to x-vard gets it decoded and displayed in pretty format. Otherwise, I just see the raw vcard text: BEGIN:VCARD PROFILE:VCARD VERSION:3.0 MAILER:Microsoft Exchange PRODID:Microsoft Exchange . . etc. According to wikipedia (not really authoritative, I know), text/directory and another variant are valid mime types - not to mention mail clients out there that probably just set application/octet-stream and rely on receiving clients to guess what to do based on filename extension (.vcf or .vcard) (similar to the common issue with application/octet-stream and .pdf filenames).
