This method of transferring the body to the mail client is (by  
default) only used on Windows, where the default of `mailclient-place- 
body-on-clipboard-flag' is non-nil.

Lennart Borgman proposed to do this on Windows systems. That's  
because apparently, long mailto:// URLs aren't supported well.  
Lennart, do you think we can be more specific here and only enable it  
when it's really needed, e.g. on old Windows installations?

I agree the message needs to be revised syntactically, I'll do that  
when improving the default for `mailclient-place-body-on-clipboard- 
flag'.
