I have a VNC client on the wife's winbox and performance is terrible even over the LAN at home. I have not yet configured the router for remote access, but if it is any worse than on the LAN (and it must be) than it would be almost unusable. Other than that, this is a better solution than the mutt solution that I proposed because Hebrew email does not display well in mutt.
