'Embed picture in outlook mail body excel vba

I am trying to embed a range from a worksheet as an image in outlook mail body. It's saving the picture correctly but I only see blank image in the outlook mail body. What am I doing wrong here?

Sub View_Email()

    tName = Trim(MAIN.Range("tEmail"))

    If Not tName Like "*@*.*" Then MsgBox "Invalid Email address": Exit Sub

    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

    'File path/name of the gif file
    Fname = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Claims.jpg"

    Set oCht = Charts.Add

    STAT.Range("A3:G26").CopyPicture xlScreen, xlBitmap
    With oCht
        .Paste
        .Export Filename:=Fname, Filtername:="JPG"
        '.Delete
    End With

    On Error Resume Next
    With OutMail
        .To = tName
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = STAT.Range("C1").Value
        .HTMLBody = "<html><p>Summary of Claim Status.</p>" & _
                    "<img src=" & Fname & "' height=520 width=750>"
        .display
        '.Send   'or use .Display
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0

    'Delete the gif file
    'Kill Fname

    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub

You need to add the image and hide it. The position 0 will add and hide it.

.Attachments.Add Fname, 1, 0

The 1 is the Outlook Constant olByValue

Once you add the image then you have to use "cid:FILENAME.jpg" as shown below.

Try this

With OutMail
    .To = tName
    .CC = ""
    .BCC = ""
    .Subject = STAT.Range("C1").Value
    .Attachments.Add Fname, 1, 0
    .HTMLBody = "<html><p>Summary of Claim Status.</p>" & _
                "<img src=""cid:Claims.jpg""height=520 width=750>"
    .Display
End With

You need to set the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID MAPI property (DASL name "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F") using Attachment.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty and refer that attachment through the src attribute that matches the value of PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID set on the attachment. PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID corresponds to the Content-ID MIME header when the message is sent.

attachment = MailItem.Attachments.Add("c:\temp\MyPicture.jpg")
attachment.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F", "MyId1")
MailItem.HTMLBody = "<html><body>Test image <img src=""cid:MyId1""></body></html>"

Keep in mind that setting content-id is preferable to using the attachment file name in the <img> element since it would need to be properly encoded and (if I remember correctly) some e-mail clients have a problem with just using the attachment file name for images.
