I would just really like to see this as an option. This is more
annoying in email.
If your creating an html email and and inserting an image *you* *do*
have a choice the choice in fact says Don't use alt Text.
If you consider having to remember to manually override the default on each and
every image in a document to be an option, I guess you do.
Now if your creating a site you must use alt-text in order to be W3C
compliant web pages and site. I've always tried to use Alt-Text for
images since I purchased Studio8 (DreamWeaver/FireWorks/Flash/Contribute)
A few comments on that:
- after you force the user to do that manual override the first time, the
document is non-compliant so why keep harassing the user?
- the standard doesn't apply to HTML mail, where it is equally inconvenient and
additionally meaningless.
- it doubly doesn't apply to mail in text+HTML format, where the five people in
the world using all text browsers will see that anyway.
- the lack of a config option says "we care more about standards than usability"
