Thanks.
My latest attempt:
vBS = "C:\\Program Files\\nasa\\nmail.vbs"
os.system('cscript /from:wrk-...@pittcountync.gov /
to:plsulli...@pittcountync.gov /sub:TEST /msg:hello ' + vBS)
Your problem is that vBS has a space in it, so the Windows
command interpreter is interpreting it as two separate arguments,
r"C:\Program" and r"Files\nasa\nmail.vbs".
Gabriel has already posted two solutions (which I won't repeat),
but he forgot to mention the problem itself!

It's not firing off the vbs script. Have I got the syntax correct?
Thanks.
My latest attempt:
vBS = "C:\\Program Files\\nasa\\nmail.vbs"
os.system('cscript /from:wrk-...@pittcountync.gov /
to:plsulli...@pittcountync.gov /sub:TEST /msg:hello ' + vBS)
Usually arguments come after the script name:
vBS = "C:\\Program Files\\nasa\\nmail.vbs"
os.system('cscript "%s" /from:wrk-...@pittcountync.gov
/to:plsulli...@pittcountync.gov /sub:TEST /msg:hello' % vBS)
But I'd use the subprocess module instead of os.system:
import subprocess
ret = subprocess.call(['cscript', vBS, '/from:...', '/to:...'])
See http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html

nmail.vbs works. I need to make it work from a python script. Thanks.
