Hi All, 

I was wondering if it’s possible to push a plist/script to allow Outlook to download external images from a sender. I have seen a thread on here regarding the same topic, but I believe this is to download ALL external images from ALL senders, which is something that we do not want to do. We just want to download from a specific address. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be amazing.

Thanks, 

Chris
