Is there a setting which causes a linked file in a MS Outlook email to
be referenced like this

server name
file://\\civic\itsgroups$\Project Office\Projects\505 EDMS Project\02
Investigation\Steering Group meeting minutes\EDMS Steering Group
Minutes 060515.doc


Rather than like this (with the drive mapping) and therefore less
useful if the mapping is not the same between sender and receiver in a
large organisation with differently mapped drives but all files
running
of the same server.

file://G:\Project Office\Projects\505 EDMS Project\02

It probably depends on how the message author browsed to the networked
drive. If they used the Windows mapped drive letter then that gets
used. If they browsed the Network Neighborhood to find the host (and
shared drive) by its hostname then that would get used.
