10.4: A workaround for dragging into Mail signatures
Authored by: david-bo on May 25, '05 02:24:21PM

Please don't add vcards to all your outgoing mails. It sucks to be forced to clean out hundreds of vcard.vcf, vcard 1.vcf, vcard 2.vcf without having any idea whoms card it is without somehow opening it. It is far better to include a link in your signature, a link that uses the addressbook url scheme and then post your vcard somewhere on the web:

addressbook://macosxhints.com/vcard.vcf

Using addressbook:// rather than http:// also lets you avoid downloading the vcard to our download folder (of course you have to download it to add it but it is stored in some temporary directory until it is added to the Address Book and then deleted)

Using a link lets people that are interested download it and everyone else avoids downloading annoying and unnecessary attachments.

(don't forget to include a http-link in your signature as well so that users of other OS:s also can access your vcard)
