I didn't see the subject line of your post at first. Won't this work?

/<body>(.)</body>/

You mean apart from the unescaped slash in the middle of the regex, the
fact that a dot only matches 1 character, and also that a dot won't match a
newline?

This would probably work most of the time:

/<body[^>]*>((?:.|\n)*)<\/body>/

Of course :) I suppose I was trying to figure out what is abnormal or
tricky about this RegExp question.
