Version: 1.7.1 (using KDE 3.3.1, (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-3) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.9y Hi, I have two issues with the interaction of Kmail and Kaddressbook: 1. there is no obvious way to include my own vCard in outgoing mails. I have to export it to a file first and include that file. 2. it does not seem to be possible to select the default charset of an vCard attachment. However, for vCard-3.0, this is essential to support 8bit characters. Your default of "us-ascii" makes vCard-3.0 rather useless. Having the same default charset as kaddressbook (utf-8) would be a bonus :) HS

I suggest adding two entries to the Attach menu: VCard (resulting in a dialog that allows you to select one or more addresses from the address book) and My VCard, which would just attach the owners VCard. As as workaround for now, you can directly drag & drop addresses from the addressbook to the message window, where you can choose to attach them as VCards.
Another possible option would be, going to Preferences->Configure Kmail->Identities. Select any of them and press Modify, and then add in either General, Advance or Signature (this last preferred) and option to attach automatically and vCard. This feature is present in thunderbird and while I used it, it was very useful.

Bug 64815 and Bug 57093 are related to your second problem. Sadly they are open since years and nothing has been done :-(

If i use Signature >> from File The Vcard will be insert as Text into Mailbody, not as attachment. Same Problem if using Templates (Vorlagen) with INPUT ="" I think there must be a Paceholder like ATTACH =""
