Win2K + VMWare should be fine.  You might also find VirtualPC to be an
interesting VMWare alternative.

A small script and a Win32 command that listens on a socket and accepts
URL's would interface the hosted system with the native browser, be that
Mozilla, Opera or IE.

You could also run mutt via a SSH client (I personally recommend
PenguiNet because it's quite intuitive to set up and the MDI interface
keeps lots of SSH sessions tidy) and not worry about configuring XFree
and getting the VMWare drivers set up so it's not dog slow etc.
