Netscape Messenger 4.5 treats a .vcf file attached to an e-mail message
as an extended signature, offering the options of viewing the full
contents of the card or adding the information to the Netscape Address
Book. I haven't tried opening one directly from Netscape.

A .vcf file is a
vCard. It is a electronic business card, based on
MIME standards and ISO standards. Most .vcf attachments to e-mails
are created automatically by applications like Netscape. However,
these vCards are only limited versions. Complete vCards can contain
images (typically a picture of the owner and/or company logo), sounds
(the correct pronunciation of the owner's name) and even movies.
There is also an equivalent to exchange appointment information,
called vCalendar ...
You can download the vCard specification and a Software Development
Kit at http://www.imc.org/pdi/ (SDK at
http://www.imc.org/pdi/sdk-MacOS.sit.hqx). Don't be afraid about the
name 'Software Development Kit'. It contains a lot of source code,
but you do not have to compile the software - a complete working
application is included. You can use this to create your own vCards,
or read those from others...

It's quite easy to gather data from them via applescript: for sue I've
an applescript for emailer to import them in Emailer addressbook
(http://www.fogcity.com), but to import them in FileMaker or Palm
Desktop (now free) is just as easy.
