It is possible to pass %u to shell using positional parameters:
sh -c 'echo "$1"' demo ARGUMENT
However POSIX shell is not enough to escape double quote and backslash
inside %u for elisp. BASH allows to perform substitutions during
variable expansion. The idea is the following (it needs more backslashes
to conform XDG spec):
bash -c 'e=${1//\\/\\\\}; e=${e///\"/\\\"}; emacsclient
--alternate-editor= --display="$DISPLAY" --eval=\(message-mailto\
"\"$e\""\)' emacsclient-mailto %u
