Help Adding a Non-Static Image to the Body of an Email

Hi,

 

I am experiencing difficulty in getting an Outlook email to show an image pulled from the Image tool that was brought over to the Report Text tool to serve as the body of the email. I can see the image from the Browse tool but when trying to make reference to the Image field in the Report Text tool, the email appears as 

<img src="U:\Alteryx\Happy Birthday\Birthday Images\Balloons.jpg" />

 

The image can't be a static image because the image is randomly selected. Below is a screenshot of the workflow and a screenshot of the resulting email.

I meant to add a question at the end of that. How can I get the image to appear in the email?

I was able to get it by attaching text to the existing field. Now my only issue is that although everything looks how it should in the Browse tool for the email I'd like sent, the email itself shows a red x instead of the image. Please let me know if you know how to resolve this.

The solution was removing the spaces in the file name of the image.
