[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

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.

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.
