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!

Cheers,
Nik
