    Hello jjacs25!

    Unfortunately, featured images aren’t included in e-mails. This is by design and there isn’t currently a method that I’m aware of to include them automatically.

    One simple solution would be to place those images inline so that they do display to e-mail recipients. In researching your issue, I came acroos this advice in a previous post on this topic:

    One trick to get around this would be to include your featured image again in the body of your post, but adjust the image settings to include a custom CSS class:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/images/image-settings/#advanced-options

    Perhaps name the class “hide-featured” .

    Then you can add this CSS to your site to hide that image:

    .entry-content .hide-featured{
display: none;
}

    It wouldn’t hide the image in the email, because your site’s custom CSS won’t effect emails, but it will hide the image within the body when folks view your site. This leaves you with only the featured image.
