Hi @ShashidharS4742,
Thanks for posting on PSC.
As per my understanding, email doesn't have CSS(or even XSD for styling) so raw XML is appearing.
The skin rules ( css ) related to section will not be present in the email. All email client like outlook dont support css files& block external links.
Accordingly to my knowledge, apart from scheduling reports(having charts) is the only OOTB way. Or else, you can create a PDF having report data with charts as well and send it as an attachment to the email.
How to export chart to PDF? Refer RonLee's comment. He has provided a documentation as well.
Hope it helps, Kindly notify if it does by marking this post as answered/helpful for larger Pega audience and tracking purposes.
