Dear All,
In this article: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.luatex/235 or
gmane.comp.tex.luatex:235
The vcard attachment could not be displayed inline(?) in gnus probably
because it uses version 3.0 format.
The vcard.el in Emacs addressbook¹ has support for 3.0 but unfortunately
it did not work with gnus last time I tried it.
Can somehow this be reconciled between the two projects? Thank you.

Since neither vcard.el is actually included in Emacs, there doesn't seem
to be much ... demand for the feature.

More likely people gave up hoping vcard support would ever really work
properly. A little like syncing bbdb with gmail contacts.

Between then and now I cannot remember receiving a vcard attachment so
you are right.

That doesnt diminish the issue that maybe others might want it. VCards
are quite common. It was quite a shock to me, for example, to discover
that Android phones prior to Froyo dont support them natively from the
built in mail app.

Certainly, I don't mean vcard is unimportant. I think there was once
discussion (probably initiated by me) to include a vcard library and
people seem to be in favour of it.
Since the AddressBook project is not going anywhere any time soon I use
Noah Friedman's vcard.el instead.
