Click the name provided on the Filed As page and click ok.
Enter the sender’s name and click Send.
Note: To save the received Business Card in .vcf file format attached to an email, users must double-click on this file and save it to Outlook contacts. The application allows updating the existing contact or creating a new one if the received one matches the one in the Contacts list.
