How to paste image from excel -please help

I’m using the code below to send email from excel via notes. This macro allows to attach files. However, I’m unable to paste excel range as image in the email body. I’m also encountering another problem - after sending the email, it appears that email is sent witout any recepient sname. When you open the email recepient names do appear in the to box. Repients do receive the emails. Any help is appreciated.
