Some people who received this message don't often get email from <EMAIL REMOVED> <mailto: <EMAIL REMOVED> >. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
I work in a multilingual environment.
It is my job to insure accessibility of our documents.
As above I am unable to insure that descriptive text is presented properly for our French speaking colleagues.
I would greatly appreciate this feature
