Not with wine installed they aren't.
It probably depends on your distribution.  With wine installed on ubuntu
you get the option of using it to run .exe mail attachments and html
linked programmes.  If the  "Do this automatically for files like this 
from now on."
option has been set then you just have to click the link.

Have fun,
