We are currently in the situation that we receive some E-Mails from our business partners containing inline attachments of the file types .doc(x)
and .pdf
with our Exchange Server.
Outlook does not show those files by default. I know there is a Exchange setting that tells Outlook to display inline attachments.
For those curious, it is Set-OrganizationConfig -ShowInlineAttachments:$true
.
Before I apply that setting, I am curious to know whether I should even consider it. I do not want to implement a bad practice and I have the feeling that there is a reason this is $false
by default. I rather educate our business partner.
Is showing E-Mail Inline Attachments in Exchange/Outlook a bad practice?
Edit
For clarification: Inline attachments ≠ automatic attachment preview.
In the following picture you see the difference between inline attachments and regular attachments. The first is disabled for Outlook clients in a domain environment by before stated Exchange setting.
