#Alpha & fog/dist cue

How would one go about getting the alpha channel to take fog or distance cue into consideration? I want to creat an overlay animation of some text and would like the text to fade in from the background on top of the background image. All the attempts I have made at using fog or distance cue to generate the appropriate alpha channel have failed. All the text shows up in the alpha channel when only a portion of the text can be seen in the image. Any suggestions short of manually editting the alpha images? Daniel (C.S.I)
