I do add Alt text for images in my Outlook messages but since many screen
readers can't find it, I also add a caption to my images. I can do this in
Outlook 2007 or 2010.

I do get a lot of HTML based messages with no Alt Text or Alt Text my screen
reader can't find. I just delete those if most of the content is in an
image/lot of advertising or newsletters.

I do look for content in a text based form but more and more HTML based
messages are image-only. I would support information available in text
format as well as the images.
