One method is to use the .HTMLBody property and to turn the required range into HTML formatting.

In your e-mail sub, with your objMail, include the .HTMLBody property and pass a range into the rngHTML function.

.HTMLBody = "Table below." & vbNewLine & rngHTML(Range("A1:B10"))

Include the function which will generate the HTML range in your code.

Function rngHTML(Rng As Range)
    Dim fso As Object, ts As Object, TempWB As Workbook
    Dim TempFile As String

    TempFile = Environ$("temp") & "\" & Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss") & ".htm"
    '' copy the range and create a new workbook to paste the data into
    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 a 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 rngHTML
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set ts = fso.GetFile(TempFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
    rngHTML = ts.readall
    ts.Close
    rngHTML = Replace(rngHTML, "align=center x:publishsource=", _
                          "align=left x:publishsource=")

    TempWB.Close savechanges:=False
    '' delete the htm file we used in this function
    Kill TempFile

    Set ts = Nothing
    Set fso = Nothing
    Set TempWB = Nothing
End Function

Please see Ron de Bruin's website, this is where I originally came across this function; he also explains another method of getting a range into the body of an e-mail.

Hope this helps.
