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
option to gvim by putting "/usr/bin/gvim -f" (if the binary is in
/usr/bin) to the text editor field in "external editor" settings. If you
