Automatic Replies in Outlook - Insert Image n/a - PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!
Powershell lets you edit the HTML. Use an escape back tick (`) thanks to Chamele0n's post:

Hi JeffkofMNv2,
where can I read about this 'escape back tick'? The link you have provided says nothing about that ;(
- Escape back tick and the Codetwo link powershell solution worked for embedding some html with double quotes linking img src. Here is a description of the escape tick.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_quoting_rules?view=powershell-7.1Hi JeffkofMNv2.
thanks for your explanation, but can you confirm that this approach is suitable to insert an image?
Did you try to insert images this way?
- Yes my autoreply is working with images inserted using html img src.
The method i used is hosting the images for my autoreply on a website and using html tags to pull them into the message <img src and using the escape-tick to use double quotes in the email. You could use single quotes and not need the escape-tick. Or you can attach the inline image into the email using this post which i did not try: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3fd8fce0-cc0e-45bd-93a8-aba267b17c30/adding-image-to-htmlemail-body?forum=winserverpowershell
So you want help/advice but don't want to provide it back?
Anyway, for what it's worth people I managed to place a picture in my autoresponse message simply by first placing it in my email sig, then copying and pasting the content of that sig into the autoresponder section.
I've tried copying the (working) .sig image to the automatic replay and all I get is the correct size of the image (no data). I am wondering if there is "extra" magic to get the actual image to appear!
TIA.GEON37 unfortunately copying and pasting will not work. I had to create a rule for my automatic replies and include a url for it to point to in order to obtain my artwork.
