Interesting, but not a very common use case ;-)
I know but just think about an email with a table with about 10 rows, 3 columns and all the CSS and the content of the cells... The limit is not so "high". 
I understand also that using thunderbird from command line is not so usual :).
We implemented an option where you can read the message from a file with message=, see bug 882104. That will be shipping in TB 52, so you could use this now in Earlybird.
