"Send as Message" and screen readers for the blind

[Chas]

I am using MS Office Publisher 2007 and want to make use of "Send as
Message".
My objective is to send an ePoster, all the graphics with hyperlinks in the
main message body.
MS Publisher processes all the components with the resulting document as an
image. All my Alternate Text has been ignored. This makes this email
message unreadable to the JAWS screen reader for the blind and people with
poor sight.

Is there a way to use the "Send as Message" feature and RETAIN the Alternate
Text within the various components of the document?

Alternatively, is there a way to insert my completed ePoster into a MS
Office email and send it, complete with all Alternate Text?
