Outlook office 365 personal photo not showing

We have outlook 2010 as our email client and use Office 365 as our email host. It is not synced with our active directory.  We would like users to add their photo to their message header to their emails.  I have experimented with this by adding my photo to my contact info in office 365 portal. Users within our organization can see the photo when they receive my email and even some outside recipients can see it but most outside recipients cannot. Is there something I am missing?  And let me clarify that we want the photo to be shown in the message header not in the body signature.  Please give detailed informative answer.  Thanks!

Schmad,
If you are adding the picture to the portal you should be fine.   You can also try adding the picture via powershell.
*Picture .jpg file should not be more than 10kb in size*
1.  Connect to your o365 tenant via powershell
2.  Set-UserPhoto "John.Doe@yourdomain.com" -PictureData ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("C:\Filelocationofpicture\JohnDoe.jpg"))
There's no way to have the user photo shown for *external* users when you use Office 365.
