I have been unable to receive a .vcf file that an ipad is sending me. The file is a small file with contact info and a short text line.
It can go from ipad to ipad, but when I receive it by laptop email (windows), there is no attachment and it is not in the body of the message. Workarounds? (Other than emailing a screenshot.)

What email client are you using on the laptop? Outlook?
 
Seamonkey... I note yahoo is handling the attachments- I can see them in online mail.
Maybe I need to turn on a helper?

Open the email, go to View->Message Body As->

and try "Original HTML"
it should show the vCard at the bottom
or try "Plain Text" and it should show it as an attachement you can open
if set to "Simple HTML" I don't think it will display.

Failing that, you might just try logging in to Yahoo directly and download the attachment, assuming you are using it for your email. I know that Hotmail will handle .vcf's okay.
