Well, you're doing this exactly the way you need to do it. Except you will
have to check
your WinZip documentation to find a command-line argument to keep WinZip
open after
the initial zipping is done.

You still need to use "Run Program", but it's harder since you don't
necessarily know which email software you are using.
It's possible that you could use DDEExecute to send commands
to EXPLORER.EXE, telling EXPLORER to mail the file using
whatever email software is registered. I have NO idea what those
commands might be, unfortunately.
Neither of these things is really MapBasic-specific. You know how to make
MapBasic tell other programs what to do; the only problem is what to tell
those programs to do.
