           Summary: does not support sending a complete e-mail from a file

Hello,

today I wanted to use the Debian reportbug program for the first time. Since I use \
KMail as my regular mailer I wanted it to use KMail instead of its own mailer or mutt \
for sending the bug report.

This cannot work. reportbug generates a mail file including headers and body of the \
email that can be send via "mutt -H" for example. mutt takes headers and body of the \
e-mail directly from the mail file.

From "kmail --help" I thought I could use "kmail --msg" for that purpose, but this \
doesn't work as KMail then puts the whole mail file including the header in the body \
of the new mail to be send. This is as it is documented when I try "man kmail". 

There does not seem to be an option to send a mail from a file and have KMail takes \
the headers and the body of the email out of the file. This essentially renders KMail \
unusable from applications that generate a complete e-mail in a file and want to send \
it via an external mail user agent.

Thus I would like an option to have KMail send a mail from a file which contains \
headers and body of the mail. A KMail compose window with all the headers and the \
body, well even attachments if any, should pop up and let me edit the e-mail before I \
sent it out. 

Regards,
Martin
