I just wanted to add the same wish. As far as I understand the previous 
comments there are two things that people want from KMail. First thing is a 
simple template function that allows to send prepared messages and just add 
some individual details. In some MUAs this is called create message from 
stationery. You could for instance prepare a message that you want to send to 
all your contacts you had on a fair. 
 
The other thing is more elaborated and allows insertion of text elements into 
the message like with bulk mail you generate in a text processor. This 
includes that you are able to a list of input data to the message and maybe 
also other text elements. But to be honest this can be reduced to the 
insertion of the salutation and the name from KAddressbook. Enabling KMail for 
bulk mail IMHO an overkill. First of all there are enough bulk mailers around 
and second before sending bulk mail people should sit back for a minute and 
remember what they do about bulk mail, they delete it.  
 
The conclusion is that a templates folder with the stationery function is very 
helpful. Insertion of addressbook fields would be a nice to have but leave the 
bulk mail functions to the bulk mailers. No one really wants bulk mail in his 
mailbox so why should you support others to send such crap.
