The spawn helper needs to be ported to Windows for this to happen.
Someone was recently working on this but didn't have much luck. Also,
I think they depended on cygwin.

The next major release of xulrunner will add features to the process
API which will allow us to eliminate the spawn helper, making
edit-current-field-in-external-editor work on all platforms.

I suggest waiting it out as porting the spawn helper at this time
would be a waste of effort.

Cheers,
