Attaching a Contact or Distribution List

Postby RSisco » Fri Aug 20, 2010 9:03 am

We are having an issue attaching contact and distribution lists to an email to send to someone outside of our Scalix setup. If we start a new email and use the "Attach Item" button, the contact is attached just fine, and if sent to someone within our system, it works perfect. If the email is sent to an external email address, the contact is converted to an empty htm attachment.

The only workaround we have found is to open the contacts folder, right click a contact and choose to send it as a vcard. This works, but when sending several contacts to one person, you must right click on each one and start a new email and then cut and paste the attachments all into one email - huge pain.

When trying to send a distribution list this way, it is converted to a txt file - this is no help.

I have searched bugzilla and haven't found any bugs created for this scenario, so if I get no luck here, then I will open a bug report.
