Outlook Vcard won't save photo

I have attached a photo to one of my contacts in Outlook. When you open the
contact from the contacts list, the photo is there. However, when I create
the Vcard for the same contact, there is no photo. I've tried several times
with no success.

Any suggestions appreciated.
 
vCards don't carry that data. They're text only by design (not something MS
came up with).
 
Actually, the vCard specification allows for pictures with Base64 encoding, and Outlook 2007 will support that part of the vCard spec with "electronic business cards."

I was wondering about that but I knew that OL2003 & below didn't support it.
I was going to check the spec but I punted on that... Oops
