[MDO] Password protected download of quarantined messages

With this change Microsoft is giving the ability to password protects items they download from quarantine. Microsoft wants users to be confident that the items they are downloading to their systems will not execute involuntarily without their consent, and this capability will allow them to safely transport the items to external analysis tools.

When this will happen:

• Standard: will begin rolling out in early July and be completed by late August.
• Government: will begin rolling out in late August and be completed by mid-September.

How this will affect your organization:

This new feature will enable tenant Admins and users to download quarantined messages and embed a password in those downloaded items.

What you need to do to prepare:

You might want to notify your users about this change and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
