Using MAPI (instead of mailclient) seems to be the correct way to do things on Windows. The reason that I didn't propose mailclient as default on Win originally was exactly what you said: I heard that the URL length is limited, at least under certain circumstances. I guess it would be best to not use mailclient as default on Windows and hope that someone (you?) will implement MAPI functionality... If people use a variety of Win / a URL client that supports long URLs, they can still set the send-mail-function to mailclient.
