LO49894: NOTES 8.5.X DOES NOT USE "TEXT/X-VCARD" WHEN SENDING VCARDS VIA MIME.

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When sending email from Notes with Vcard to external users, the
  vcard does not
  work properly with all mail clients.   For example, when sending
  from Notes to
  Thunderbird,
  Thunderbird does not recogonize the Vcard to pull into its
  contacts.   But it
  does from Outlook.     It appears that Notes is not using
  content-type "x-vcard"
  
  Checking the page source on an email with Vcard send from Notes
  client, we see:
  
  Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="user.vcf"
  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="user.vcf"
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
  
  
   But when sent from another mail client, such as Thunderbird, we
  see:
  
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
  Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8;
   name="user.vcf"
  Content-Disposition: attachment;
   filename="user.vcf"
