Alt text for images in emails

I donā€™t have images enabled by default in my email client, and it makes your email look like itā€™s broken:

This is how it looks with images enabled:

It would be good if you had some alt text on the images (even if itā€™s just something like ā€˜image of the top breakouts this weekā€™, but a textual representation of the image content would be better). This would help with deliverability, as well as accessibility (people with vision issues using screen-readers wonā€™t see the images, and might not even know thereā€™s an image there).

Thank you for your input. Indeed, providing additional information about the images in the email would be helpful for individuals with vision impairments who use screen readers. Iā€™ll pass on the feedback for consideration - thanks for sharing :pray:
