Maybe I'm coming in late to this thread, but if the body of the email is less than 1k have you considered just sending it along as a param in the url?:

on mouseUp
  put "[email protected]" into tAddress
  put "Hello!" into tSubject
  put "This is the body"&cr&"of the email." into tBody
  put "mailto:"&; tAddress & "?" \
      &  "subject="& tSubject &"&" \
      & "body="& tBody into tEmailURL
  launch url tEmailURL
end mouseUp

I use this to have customers send bug reports, and I can grab the OS version, my app's version, screenRect, and other useful info along with the relevant portion of the executionContexts all within the size limit on the URL passed to most email clients.

So far the only really restrictive client I've come across in years is GMail, which apparently allows only ~512 chars; everything else our users have tested on allows at least 1k, which has been plenty to get the info I need from them.
