Instead you must use the vCard icon, which is not always visible on longer emails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Receive an email containing a vCard 2. Add the sender to your address book through the context menu Actual Results: Data in new card dialog will not include anything from their vCard, only the display name and email. Expected Results: Data from vCard, such as address and tel will have been read and appear in the new card dialog.

Sorry, I'm resolving this one as invalid - a vcard is a seperate attachment to a mail, it may not even be the vcard of the sender from whom you got the email. When you add the sender from the context menu on the "from" line, you are just adding the sender's detail - there is no link to the vcard. You could possibly argue we could try and link the email addresses or names but I don't think thats the right way to go - and that would be a seperate bug anyway. If you are having trouble with seeing the vcard icon on large emails, please file a seperate bug after first having checked the latest release or nightly build.
