If I send "John's" contact card as an item to "Mary", she receives it 
blank/can't see anything NO ATTACHMENT DISPLAYS, as if I hadn't attached it 
--which I knwo I did because of my "sent messages..."

The same thing happens if I send a distribution list.  What could be the 
issue? Is the problem when I send the card or when they receive it? How can I 
solve this?  

Make sure you insert the Contact Record as an Outlook Item in an RTF message 
and that neither of you uses email AV scanning.

huh... I use html option (when sending email). so not running antivirus? 
isn't that risky?

Russ didn't say "not running antivirus" - what he said was not running EMAIL 
SCANNING in your Antivirus. FWIW it's not worth doing that anyway at any 
time - you are no more protected by doing it, and it uses up more computer 
resources. 

apologies for misunderstanding. (according to what I seen, there's no 
antivirus software at all --company pc-- so it might not even be that.

Either forward in Internet Format (vCard) or make sure you are using
RTF formatting for the address. Do not use RTF if the person does not
use Outlook - they won't get the attachments in a usable format. If they
use OE, Vista Mail, or Live Mail, the attachment is hidden. Forward as
vCard instead. 

Same deal on a DL - forward as vcard - this actually sends them a text
file with the names and email addresses which they need to use to create
a DL in their own client. See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2004/20041105.htm for how use this
list for a new DL in Outlook.
