I've been developing a code in VBA to treat a worksheet on Excel and send the result to my customer via e-mail, attaching the document and an image in the body of e-mail.

A part of this code, uses a HTML code to attach the image.

When I send this automatic e-mail to my customer, the image is blocked by a default protection of Outlook, that don't permit automatic download of HTML images.
enter image description here

The below is an example of my code, wherein myMail.HTMLBody is where I add the directory of image and the problem happens.
I can send the image to my customer via e-mail without block when I see the e-mail (in myMail.Display True), where I do the manual process in MS Outlook, clicking in Insert > Pictures and choose the image (this process that I want in my code).

How can I write this process (choose the image manually in Pictures) in my code?

I could request my customer define my e-mail as trusted or request them to uncheck this protection in Trust Center of MS Outlook, but I want to solve this problem from my side and not pass it to my customer.

Function Send_Email(EmailTO, EmailCC)
    
    Dim outlookApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim myMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim Source_File As String
    
    Set outlookApp = New Outlook.Application
    Set myMail = outlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    
    myMail.To = EmailTO
    myMail.CC = EmailCC
    myMail.Subject = "Subject
    myMail.HTMLBody = "<p><img src=""C:\pictures\image.png"" alt="""" /></p>        
    myMail.Attachments.Add "C:\pictures\image.png"
    myMail.Attachments.Add "C:\documents\document.xlsx"
    myMail.Display True 'comment this out if you don't want to display email
    myMail.Send 'comment this out if you don't want to send yet
    
End Function

    There is nothing you can do to override the user's settings that block the images from untrusted sources. – braX Jan 28 '21 at 14:39
