Tim brings up good points, however, even if the font size is very small and cannot be seen by a sighted individual, a screen reader on windows should still be able to read the message.

The font size could be so small that a sighted user won’t be able to read it, but VO doesn’t care as it is simply taking the text and voicing it. Similarly, if the font colour was the same as the background, the sighted person won’t be able to read the text where VO again reads just fine. One of the few advantages to using VO :). I also do not believe that HTML vs Plain Text should make any difference. Font could be a factor, although so many fonts nowadays are standard in most OS’s.
