We're trying to set up rich text auto responses. We drag & drop the image into the message and everything looks good. After saving, then re-opening the auto-response all of the images are stripped out.
the CK Editor does not work well with drag&drop and browsers. But if you read the latest notes [1]http://www.otrs.com/release-notes-otrs-5-beta-4/ you'll see that OTRS5 will fully support this.

[ ] agreed auto replies are not PITA in general :-) That depends on your needs. Sometimes you (or someone) (mis-)configures too much auto replies. This is not good.
Auto-replies are backscatter. That is, they are sent back to whatever address a sender claimed. Large messages in auto-replies can be used to attack other users by making your site send large e-mail to their accounts.
[x] agreed
If you can, turn off auto-replies compeltely. If you can't, please keep them very short and conclusive.
my opinion: turn on what you really need! Don't do more. If you *might* need it, don't do it.
Another hint: If you are accepting encrypted e-mail; then *do not* send back an unencrypted auto-reply with a full quote - this is a serious information leak!
Very good thinking!! Thanks! -- Florian [1] http://www.otrs.com/release-notes-otrs-5-beta-4/
