It's a reasonable technical question, but on the user side, I think you are suggesting an unreasonable practice. No one wants to receive an attached .gif unless it's part of the message. If you want to include your contact information, I think it is better to put it in your signature. (For example, see mine, below.) What you want to do is covered by attaching a .vcf file. The Mac OS's Address Book (and Entourage's too, and I expect Mail.app, too) know how to automatically handle a .vcf file. But, too me, .vcf is a pain in the butt. Who wants that attachment on every email from someone? Attaching a .gif would likely increase the simple text email's size from 1k to 500 k. What a waste of bandwidth and hard disk space. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roger S.
