Hi all,

We have found the Outlook mobile (Android and iOS) client attaches images 
inline and also removes metadata (camera specs, location, date) from the image.

We'd like to use the Outlook client to maintain software parity across 
corporate devices however this limitation is difficult for our outdoor staff 
who need to email images for records.

I have found there is a feature request for the images being attached inline, 
but has anyone had any luck or a workaround with the metadata being removed 
from images?

Outlook attachments on Uservoice: 
https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/293346-outlook-for-android/suggestions/37720315-provide-a-choice-between-inline-images-and-attachm

I currently have an open ticket with Microsoft regarding the metadata but 
haven't gotten far yet.
