Two thoughts occur to me:-

1.  Can I generate an email in kmail programmatically, IE using some

Why? Using Kmail would be the last way I'd ever think of
generating email programmatically. I used PERL to do this last
time!

Semi-automatically.
I already have a Python script that generates an email with input from user, 
and I'm working on getting it to send a file by FTP to a repository, with a 
link placed in the email, so as to avoid the local problem of a Word doc 
being emailed to 75 practices all of whom have their mailbox on teh same hard 
drive as the person sending the mail - thus 76 copies of the same file are 
generated on the same disk.

What I'm talking about though is triggering the same event you get when you 
click on a mailto: link, so that you can drive the generation of a standard 
email from something else, but leave the use rto fill in the text.  That 
probably points to the solution in fact, since kmail doesn't have to be 
running to generate those.  Hmm.
