The Vcard "Activities" tab reveals all past emails etc and the contents of
these are revealed by double clicking.
Can the person who receives the Vcard also reveal these emails or are they
automatically kept confidential by virtue of the fact the Vcard is operation
on a different computer?

PS Why isn't this issue explained in the Help section of Outlook????

A vCard is nothing but a simple text file. You can check this out yourself
by saving the .vcf file to disk and opening it with Notepad.

What you see on the Activities page are the mail messages in ***your own***
folders that are related to that contact. Someone using the same vCard will
see the mail messages in ***their*** folders. The lists are built
dynamically.
