Upload email files in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat

Microsoft 365 Copilot will soon support uploading email file formats such as .eml and .msg directly in Copilot Chat and the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. Users can attach saved email files to their prompts, giving Copilot more context and helping it generate more accurate, relevant responses.

Previously, users had to manually copy and paste email content into their prompts to provide that context.
If the rollout is not yet complete, users will see an error referencing the supported file formats.
