'Updated by Extendoffice 2017/9/12
    Dim xRgSel As Range
    Dim xOutApp As Object

    Set xRgSel = Intersect(Target, xRg)
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
    If Not xRgSel Is Nothing Then
        Set xOutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
        Set xMailItem = xOutApp.CreateItem(0)
        xMailBody = "Cell(s) " & xRgSel.Address(False, False) & _
            " in the worksheet '" & Me.Name & "' were modified on " & _
            Format$(Now, "mm/dd/yyyy") & " at " & Format$(Now, "hh:mm:ss") & _
            " by " & Environ$("username") & "."

        With xMailItem
            .To = "Email Address"
            .Subject = "Worksheet modified in " & ThisWorkbook.FullName
            .Body = xMailBody
            .Attachments.Add (ThisWorkbook.FullName)
            .Display
        End With
        Set xRgSel = Nothing
        Set xOutApp = Nothing
        Set xMailItem = Nothing
    End If
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

From now on, any cell in range A2:E11 is modified, a new email will be created with the updated workbook attached. And all specified fields such as subject, recipient and email body will be listed in the email. Please send the email.
