Hi, I'm trying to find an answer to an issue that I am experiencing. If I send an Azure Information Protection email message to one of my clients, they receive an email with an attachment - 'message....

Best thing you can do is to indeed configure what's shown in the video, the new V2 Office Message Encryption service. It makes it much easier on the receiving party to work with protected documents.
Here's the documentation: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-up-new-Office-365-Message-Encryption-capabilities-built-on-top-of-Azure-Information-Protection-7ff0c040-b25c-4378-9904-b1b50210d00e

Hi Vasil, That worked a treat and is now so much easier - thank you. I
have a few questions around using the solution with external recipients
if you can help? 1) If I send an email to fred@mycompany.com (no
attachments) with a protection policy applied that fred is not included
in, I presume fred will not be able to open the email? 2) If I send an
email to fred@mycompany.com (with unprotected attachment) and use the Do
Not Forward, I presume fred can open the email and the attached but
presume the attachment is not protected and could be extracted / screen
grabbed? 3) If I send an email to fred@mycompany.com (with a mix of
protected and unprotected attachments and use a separate protection
policy for the email compared to the protected attachments, I guess the
unprotected documents get the over-arching policy but do the originally
protected attachments retain their previous policy, get a replacement
policy or a composite policy? 4) If fred@mycompany.com is not listed in
a particular policy but I want to add him, does fred have to be added by
an admin in the policy settings (i.e. add to Azure directory as contact)
then applied to the policy before I can email fred (I know that this can
be done using the AIP client using the Classify and Protect feature to
add other recipients but I can't see how this can be applied using an
email client or using a Word document if stored in Sharepoint)? Sorry -
a lot of questions but these are the main scenarios that present
themselves when implementing the solution. Your thoughts are gratefully
received :-).
