That was not garbled, it was just base-64 encoded so the lines don't get
folded and to protect special characters from mail software.  It is
clear to anyone who has munpack or a MIME aware mail user agent such as
pine or mutt.

So?  It needs a working directory to start in, and it can't use /usr/bin
because it is not mapped to a windows drive so it is setting the working
directory to /mnt/win_c/windows.  If you don't want the message,

cd /mnt/win_c/windows before starting wine.

That is exactly what it means.  program_name is not optional.  Wine runs
windows apps.  You must give it a windows app to run, or it can't do its
job and will try to tell you as best it can how to do yours so it can do
its.

old.
