Yeah, I don't think it will work. The idea is having the click here ON the image. But it is worth testing.

The other problem with the spammy emails, is they don't have enough actual machine readable text on them, which also pushes them into spam folders.

I used to use cool CSS tricks to display text when the client had images turned off, but that ended up being so platform specific as each email client treats CSS differently that it wasn't worth doing.
