This displays a GUI message when ran on the same Windows host through a 
terminal window ("DOS box"), so it doesn't look like I need an extra app:

===============
msg * Test
===============

On the Debian host, if I just run the basic command, I'm prompted for a 
root password. Since it doesn't like Debian's root password, I guess 
it's the Windows' admin password… which is empty (it's a home computer, 
I don't bother):

===============
~# smbclient -M WIN-PC
Enter root's password:<ENTER>
Connection to WIN-PC failed. Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
===============

I think I'll give up and just send an email instead.

Thanks everyone for the help.
