Greetings, 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. According to the guy working on it "it worked yesterday", so I'm not sure what exactly might be going awry here. Any thoughts or recommendations appreciated.

Hi Nick,
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.
According to the guy working on it "it worked yesterday", so I'm not sure what exactly might be going awry here.
not directly related to OTRS, but in general: Please do not do that. * Messages with images are huge. Some people have slow or limited internet access, and do not want to be transmitting large, useless data. It also puts unnecessary load on inboxes. * Auto-replies are an (unavoidable) PITA. Don't blow them up too much, that doesn't make anything better. * 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. If you can, turn off auto-replies compeltely. If you can't, please keep them very short and conclusive. 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!

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.

[x] agreed

[ ] 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.

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/

[x] agreed Sometimes you just have to do what the boss demands, good idea or not.

[x] agreed We have a very good spam filter so not much comes in that isn't a legitimate ticket, fortunately.
If you can, turn off auto-replies compeltely. If you can't, please keep them very short and conclusive.

This is an excellent suggestion, and as we aren't quoting the message in the auto-response, we're already set here. -- ----------------------------------------------- - Nick Bright - - Vice President of Technology - - Valnet -=- We Connect You -=- - - Tel 888-332-1616 x 315 / Fax 620-331-0789 - - Web http://www.valnet.net/ - ----------------------------------------------- - Are your files safe? - - Valnet Vault - Secure Cloud Backup - - More information & 30 day free trial at - - http://www.valnet.net/services/valnet-vault - ----------------------------------------------- This email message and any attachments are intended solely for the use of the addressees hereof.
