I've not followed the whole discussion and am far away from being a KMail 
power user yet, but have two cents:

I was using The Bat! under win32 before and it has a quite powerful template 
language. Once somebody even added Python support for it (through a TB 
plugin).

This way I had a main template, that detected if it was for a new message, 
replying or forwarding. Because I've used POPFile to classify my mails (also 
in German/English buckets) I could use that value to select the language for 
the header and footer text snippets. If the original mail was not classified 
or I was writing a new mail (or forwarding) I've used quite simple top level 
domain matching for it (plus a [white]list of addresses).
And because the intro and signature came from a subtemplate, it was quite easy 
to change them on the fly when you've already written parts of your answer 
for example; just select the wrong text, type the name of the macro (which 
was marked as quicktemplate), press the expand-quicktemplate hotkey and you 
were done.

I'm not sure, if that really helps, but it hopefully helps to have some fresh 
ideas.. :)

Thank you for a great mailing agent!
