alt text behind images in emails

[Trish_Voskovitc]

hi there
i have tried all the "solutions" i could find on this topic and the alt text is still not visible when i send email 

what is the trick???

when important text is in the image this is rucial for people who have images turned off

I noticed this too particularly when I view it on some email clients.  I also noticed that the alt text do appear on larger images, but not on small icons. But when I do mouse over the image that's turned off, I see text on the bottom of the browser.

If you specifically set the size and use display:block; (which you should) there is only a limited amount of space to place the text. So keep it short. You can also use title="" that has a hoover effect. That way people could still over a non-loaded image (red cross) and get some insights.
