No accessibility software in the world will help him all the while
that e-mail authors believe that presenting text as image, with
no or minimal ALT information, is "communicating", which is what
e-mail is (or should be) all about. I opened my junk e-mail folder
and took the very first entry. The sighted user will see the
contents of
http://www.videoprint.cl/news/feb12/videoprint.jpg
and read "Videoprint.cl (Tel) 02 2253413 Bruno Mars La fusion
definitiva entre el video y la publicacion impresa". The blind
user will be presented with the contents of the ALT attribute
(no LONGDESC present) and be told "videoprint.cl".
This is the relevant part of the e-mail :
<h2 style="LINE-HEIGHT: 31px; FONT-FAMILY: Georgia, 'Times New Roman',
Times, serif; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 4px; COLOR: #232020; MARGIN-LEFT: 0px;
FONT-SIZE: 31px; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"><img
onmouseover="" style="WIDTH: 550px;=20 HEIGHT: 435px"
onmouseoutonmousedown="" height="435" alt="videoprint.cl"
hspace="0" src="http://www.videoprint.cl/news/feb12/videoprint.jpg";
width="550" border="0"></h2>
