(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

In my opinion, this would complicate this command needlessly because I
don't think this would be used a lot.  The user can always jump to the
*Messages* buffer if they want to yank the message, and that works for
all commands like this, not just `C-h c'.

So I'm therefore closing this bug report.
