[Accessibility_sig] EMAIL IMAGES

[Randolph D Garrett]

Hi,

1st time posting, long time on computers (1972) and unemployed (temp).

Please note on your web designs to handle IMAGES as the email method that is
without link.

The website I just visited uses that as anti-SPAM (yea!) but goofed (image
can still be OCR'd).

I'd swear the OCR S/W would barf on just a simple (but variable) diagonal
line but I don't have OCR (good ones, not MS) on my system now (did years
ago @ E-scan).

*sigh* I do talk too much, it's late...

Anyway, keep the image (and be sure it's a good one for anti-spam) but be
sure there is SOME method for the screen reader to CONTACT the webmaster.
Of course just sending "webmaster at URL" would work but this site has NO links
at all as anti-SPAM.

Any thoughts?
