Irwin, just a suggestion. If you need your vcard for business you could
setup 2 users in Netscape (I assume you are using netscape), one for
business, and 1 for when you are sending postings to the triumph list.
Each user has his/her own preferences so you could turn off the vcard
when sending to the list.

cheers
