That's why I was mentioning Firefox (or Thunderbird or SeaMonkey) which
are not "normal Windows programs" but cross-platform. They don't need
Cygwin, on Windows they use normal Windows calls, but I thought that
they might recognise the middle-click in an input box or a
mail-composition window to mean "paste from clipboard" the way they do
on Linux or Mac.

Gvim does a paste when it sees a middle click. But who translates the
both-click and _presents_ it as a middle-click? IMHO it might quite well
be Windows, even if much fewer Windows-only programs _recognize_ the
middle-click than do Unix-only programs.
