This is a feature proposal.. I just successfully added a vcf file address to the address book.

It would be a nice feature to right click on an attached VCF file in an e-mail attachments, and add the vcf to the address book.

Thanks Evan

Thanks for the reference. I sent an address from my Iphone to my e-mail account, and when it came up thunderbird did not recognize the attachment as a vcf. is there a setting I am missing ?

As a kludge, you may be able to save the vcf as a file then import this file into the Address Book. I have long been baffled by Thunderbird's reluctance to work seamlessly with vCards.

This add-on:

provides more import/export options, but I suspect it may actually interfere with recognition and importing of attached vCards.

BTW, do you habitually view messages in the Message Pane? Do you have any better experience with your vCard if you double-click the message to view it in either a tab or its own new window?;-)
