Default Outlook vCard Downloads

I would like for users to be able to download vCards from
a website. A normal <a href> does not work. does anyone know if there a way without having to zip?

hmmmm.... I think the only way this is possible is to use a script. maybe one of these will do the job:

(They also changed the design of hotscripts too. not bad :cheesygr: )

Default Problem Solved

It was a simple mime type correction.

For those with Unix/Linux you can use a .htaccess file with this line of code

AddType text/x-vcard vcf

Works like a charm.

Thanks to all!
