Start by giving your message a meaningful subject line.

Continue by not attaching pointless gifs to your message.

Further continue by not posting in HTML to a non-HTML list.

Finally, look at external methods and python's os.system or popen3 or popen4 
functions.

Alternatively, front your Zope with Apache and call your .exe as a CGI by URL, 
if you so require...

cheers,

Chris
