Thanks for the hint - that looks very promising! In the meantime I've also 
stumbled over ksendbugmail which could in principle be abused for the job, 
although I'd certainly not advocate such use - the smtp solution looks much 
cleaner. A potential problem (for me) could be that in this case attachments 
must be embedded manually in the body of the mail, which likely requires a 
base64 encoding step and correct embedding. Maybe I'll need to have a look at 
the respective bits in kmail.

Best regards,
