I export the HTML 5 results from SAS EG to my desktop. I end up with one HTML file. When I open it on my local machine it shows figures images nicely in a browser. However, when I send it via email and open the attachment the images are not shown. Is there anything I can do to embed the images in one html file similar to a Jupyter notebook? Thanks!

That's because it uses an additional layer in its backend that works like a content management system. When you use ODS HTML, you work on the level of HTML, not on the level of a CMS.
And keep in mind that you're a SAS programmer, not just a SAS user. This means that there are things you need to take care of, while also opening up a lot of flexibility. Proper definition of the path options will lead to output that is contained in a single directory tree and can be handled (for copying etc) in one fell swoop.
Maybe it's because I'm old, but I happily trade a lot of "comfort" for having direct control over the working of things.
A html page with pictures is actually a file.htm and a directory that contains the pictures.
What have you sent by email? and how have you done it?
Post your code in order that the forum can help you.
Actually I just found the folder with the images looking at one of the HTML img tags:
<div class="c">
<img alt="The SGPlot Procedure" src="HTML%20-%20PA2BubblePlots1_files/img0.png" style=" height: 480px; width: 640px;" border="0" class="c">
</div>
Sorry! Is it possible to embed them like in a Jupyter notebook?
I'm not familiar with Jupyter notebook.
Alternatively you can zip the directory containing the html + image files.
The receiver should unzip it.
PDF or RTF is user-friendly, would that meet your needs?
That's how HTML handles non-textual data. Images, videos, audio etc. are served as separate files.

Or at least knowing when I am letting the system defaults take over and what they are.
