I'm afraid this will most likely turn out to be impossible. Scripting is usually taboo in E-Mail clients.

This may be possible from within a web site using IE specific scripting (in VBScript, connecting to Outlook via COM or something), but security settings would block that from working for the vast majority of users anyway.

This is what vCard was invented for. Create a vCard file (from Outlook or using a third party application), and host it online on some webspace. Or, if needed, you can create a webpage that generates the vCard dynamically. Simply add a hyperlink to the vCard URL to the email message body.

Upon clicking upon the URL, Outlook will open up the contents from the vCard as a new Outlook contact.

That is, if Outlook isn't setup to block URLs, in which case you'd be better off sending the vCard as an attachment. Outlook signatures can be setup to contain a vCard.
