If you enable or do not configure this policy setting, embedded files are attached to the email message as separate files. If you disable this policy setting, embedded files are not attached to the email message as separate files.

- The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
- Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
