If you add a picture to a contact's card in Address Book, the picture appears in other applications that use Address Book information. For example, when you read email from that person in Mail, you'll see their picture in the message window. You'll also see it when you add the person to your Buddy List in iChat.

I thought this was the case but AFAIK I've never received a Vcard from Mark. I've received a couple of emails off-list from him, but I've certainly never imported a photo myself. Do Vcards automatically attach to an email? Then when I add this address to my address book, it grabs the vCard data?

BTW Don't take anything personally Mark - it doesn't bother me - I just wondered how it all works :-)

It's possible the image is embedded in the e-mail header, in a similar way to that used by the X-Face tag on some other e-mail systems.

Have fun,
