Hi,
Using the below Ron Debruin code, I'm able to copy and paste an excel selection into an outlook email with the click of a button, but the email also sends to the designated email address, which I do not want to happen. I simply want the macro to copy and paste the selection into a draft outlook email, that may be further modified by a user within excel, prior to sending. Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Code:
Sub Mail_Selection_Range_Outlook_Body()' You need to use this module with the RangetoHTML subroutine.
' Works in Excel 2000, Excel 2002, Excel 2003, Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Outlook 2000, Outlook 2002, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, and Outlook 2010.
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object


    Set rng = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    ' Only send the visible cells in the selection.
    Set rng = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
    ' You can also use a range with the following statement.
    ' Set rng = Sheets("YourSheet").Range("D4:D12").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
    On Error GoTo 0


    If rng Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "The selection is not a range or the sheet is protected. " & _
               vbNewLine & "Please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
        Exit Sub
    End If


    With Application
        .EnableEvents = False
        .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With


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


    On Error Resume Next
    With OutMail
        .To = "[my email address]"
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "This is the Subject line"
        .HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
        ' In place of the following statement, you can use ".Display" to
        ' display the e-mail message.
        .Send
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0


    With Application
        .EnableEvents = True
        .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With


    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
Function RangetoHTML(rng As Range)

    TempFile = Environ$("temp") & "/" & Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss") & ".htm"
 
    ' Copy the range and create a workbook to receive the data.
    rng.Copy
    Set TempWB = Workbooks.Add(1)
    With TempWB.Sheets(1)
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, , False, False
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats, , False, False
        .Cells(1).Select
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        On Error Resume Next
        .DrawingObjects.Visible = True
        .DrawingObjects.Delete
        On Error GoTo 0
    End With
 
    ' Publish the sheet to an .htm file.
    With TempWB.PublishObjects.Add( _
         SourceType:=xlSourceRange, _
         Filename:=TempFile, _
         Sheet:=TempWB.Sheets(1).Name, _
         Source:=TempWB.Sheets(1).UsedRange.Address, _
         HtmlType:=xlHtmlStatic)
        .Publish (True)
    End With
 
    ' Read all data from the .htm file into the RangetoHTML subroutine.
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set ts = fso.GetFile(TempFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
    RangetoHTML = ts.ReadAll
    ts.Close
    RangetoHTML = Replace(RangetoHTML, "align=center x:publishsource=", _
                          "align=left x:publishsource=")
 
    ' Close TempWB.
    TempWB.Close savechanges:=False
 
    ' Delete the htm file.
    Kill TempFile
 
    Set ts = Nothing
    Set fso = Nothing
    Set TempWB = Nothing
End Function
