I think this is a good suggestion and I believe it can add a lot to the 
quality on Emacs. It can work on w32 too, but there is one problem. The 
mailto url can not be very long on w32. Therefore I have made a 
workaround which I hope you can include.

The workaround (on w32 only) places the actual message body on the 
clipboard and instead gives a short body telling the user to paste the 
clipboard contents into the message:
