Documentation/email-clients.txt: Fix one grammar mistake, add extra info about TB
Fix one grammar mistake (Allows->Allow) and add extra information about the external editor add-on of Thunderbird: the developer must make sure that their editor doesn't fork (IOW it mustn't return before closing) thus they should be careful how they configure the addon. Furthermore, add a tip how to do it with gvim.

Please note that "external editor" requires that your editor must not

fork, or in other words, the editor must not return before closing.

You may have to pass additional flags or change the settings of your

editor. Most notably if you are using gvim then you must pass the -f
