Tiger only hintA user from MacOSX.com was having trouble adding a vCard to his signature in Mail 2.0 in Tiger. He was trying to drag and drop the vCard, but Mail wasn't accepting the drag.

So as I investigated, I found that it was definitely a bug in Mail 2.0. However, the workaround is quite easy (and this works for any attachment of any type):

  1. Select your vCard in Address Book
  2. Go to File: Export
  3. Go to the Finder and select the newly exported vCard
  4. Next, choose Edit: Copy
  5. Back in Mail, place your cursor where you want the vCard to go, and choose Edit: Paste and Match Style
This should work for any file really, but I haven't tested any others.
