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).

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)
