[New!] Outlook - Drag and drop email to folder saves with different name

Copper Contributor

Hello!

It was brought to my attention that recently when you drag an email from Outlook (O365) and drop it in a folder (using File Explorer - Windows 10), the resulting file name (.msg) will get rid of the periods originally in the Subject line of the email saved.

Example:

  • Subject in Outlook = 45454545-RLUNA.666
  • Resulting file name = 45454545-RLUNA 666.msg

    Does anybody know how to get the resulting file name to respect the name as it is written in the Outlook subject? I was told that this is a new behaviour in Outlook, and was even shown all the previous file names with the correct names that included that period.

     

    I've attached a couple of images, one to show the version of Outlook, and the other to show this phenomena.

     

    Thank you very much for your assistance!
