I don't think wine is an option there.              It works over SSH in any terminal. There are some errors, but they can be       ignored:              $ wine getchtest_win2-mingw32.exe       0070:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but       no driver could be loaded.       0070:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Make sure that your X server is running       and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.       0070:err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window              Only disadvantage is that the Wine package is huge with all its dependencies       in comparison to the few KB from FMail. (In times of 100MB mobile apps it       might not matter).               WvV> I could run a little test program today, in a Konsole terminal, where it        WvV> was started from, using:               WvV> # wineconsole --backend=curses test.exe              wineconsole --backend=curses returns an error on Wine 7.0. But I think with       "wine test.exe" you get the same behavior.              (And yes, I've got the exact same output with getchtest_win2-mingw32.exe)              ---        * Origin: War is Peace.
