No it's not.

got the solution from RondeBruin

activesheet.protect
activesheet.unprotect

This code is what I have been looking for to have people send me a protected spreadsheet with their data inputted in it. Awesome! What I would like to know is there any code to add to this that would put it as either high importance or low importance when it is sent? Because of the high volume of email I need to distinguish at a glance these emails that are sent.

Sub Mail_Selection_Range_Outlook_Body()

Dim rng As Range
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object

Sheets("SheetName").Unprotect

Set rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
'Only the visible cells in the selection
Set rng = Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
'You can also use a range if you want
'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")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = "[email protected]"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "This is the Subject line"
.HTMLBody = RangetoHTML(rng)
.Send 'or use .Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0

Sheets("SheetName").Protect

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

Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
