Section 1.1: Images
Be careful of using images in email as the sole means of conveying information. If you need to use an image, be sure to use alternative text to convey the information found in the image. Google Mail now has a built in mechanism to add alternative text to an image. You can add alt text by following these steps:
Add your image to your email
Select the image
Select “Edit Alt Text” directly below the image
Enter the descriptive text and click Apply
