I don't think vcards are evil.  They make it much easier to parse and store
stuff in a database.  If you have to live a MIME world (which is not so
bad, really), vcards beat free-form signatures hands down.  (Disclaimer: I
work for Netscape.  Assume bias as you wish. :-))

Thanks for the code, too!  If you plan to publish your code somewhere on
the web, let me know and I'll add a link from my elisp software pages to
yours.
