You don't need more than that -- it's only meant for creating a template
email message, not a long dissertation. 1024 characters is a lot! :)
If only 1024 characters are supported, that's a bug, at least according
to the GNU coding standards. It's not a design problem; it's a bug
in your client.
(Never mind that most of the world ignores GNU...)
Perhaps a new URL scheme, say "email:"?
I don't see how an email: scheme would buy you anything. Old
clients break whether you call it email: and they totally lose;
and old clients break the way things are.
