Just for grins I popped open synaptic and searched on vcard
There is a library just for mutt named lbdb
Dunno if that is of use for you or not. Installing it shouldn't hurt 
though, just to see what it does. There's not a lot of standalone vcard 
apps, but this looks promising:

"PyCoCuMa (Pythonic Contact and Customer Management) provides a personal
information system for addresses, telephone numbers and other data 
associated with personal contacts (also supports photographic pictures)."

You might find others. I didn't look too hard. :) Ric
