Piping current buffer as a string(!) to an external command

I have a problem piping the current buffer to an external command. Similar questions asked could not solve the problem.

I want to treat the content of the buffer as a string and simply pass it as an argument like this, where %s is the CONTENT of my file:

:!thunderbird.exe -compose body=%s


The usual way of using %w !{cmd} is not working here, because thunderbird doesn't read from STDIN, correct me if this assumption is wrong. (Piping buffer to external command in Vim)

How do I send my buffer content as a string to an external command?
