You can write the message to a temporary file and use the :pedit
command. The tempname() function should help. Remember to delete the
file when done with delete()!

Possibly you could also create a new scratch buffer and set the
'previewwindow' option but I don't know how well this will behave,
the :help says that you shouldn't normally set this option manually.
