can not import a vcard attached to email
When receiving an email where someone is forwarding me a contact in .vcf I see a text file in the body of email I can open a card but it wants to add it to windows contacts instead of thunderbird
How can I correct this

vCard or .vcf
Some address book programs use a vCard format, which cannot be imported directly by Thunderbird. You can import both vCard and .vcf using the third-party Thunderbird extension 'MoreFunctionsForAddressBook'.

- download to desktop or 'downloads' folder on computer.
- In Thunderbird. 'Tools' > 'Add-ons' to open 'Add-ons manager' in a new tab
- click on the daisy wheel icon and select 'Install Addon from file
- locate the .xpi file you downloaded
- click on Open to install in Thunderbird
Save the vcard / .vcf attachment to eg: desktop
In Thunderbird:
- open 'Address Book'
- select the address book you want it to go to
- 'Tools' > 'morefunctionforAddressBook' > 'Action for contacts' > 'Import vCard/vcf'
- locate the saved vcard/.vcf file and click on 'Open'

Perfect. Thanks. I had seen the option of that addon but did not get around the install part until you explained it.
