Sorry for the long delay in replying. I've been on vacation.
I'm no expert on this, and I don't use konqueror, but I do use mozex
with mozilla and I used it to make mutt my mozilla e-mail client
shortly before leaving on vacation. The recipe for using mutt given
on the mozex site didn't work for me, so I wrote a script to handle
the interface between mozex and mutt. The problem I had was that
mutt didn't like having empty arguments to its options.
You can include the body using the -i mutt option.
I'll show you my solution, but it is probably more complicated than
you need because I run mozilla on a Linux machine but mutt on an
HP-UX machine. Both machines access the same HOME directory via
NFS, but the rest of their file systems are different, including
/tmp, so I had to copy any files saved by mozex in /tmp (only the
body in my case) to a temporary directory under HOME.
Here is my mozex Mailer command (one line):
/home/garyjohn/bin/Linux/mutt_for_mozex -s "%s" -c "%c" -i "%b" %a
and here are the scripts:
--------------- /home/garyjohn/bin/Linux/mutt_for_mozex ----------------
#!/usr/bin/sh
#
# mutt_for_mozex - interface script to allow mozex on Linux to invoke
# mutt on HP-UX in an xterm window -- Linux side
# Remove any options with empty arguments.
#
args=''
while [ $# -gt 0 ]
do
case $1 in
-s|-c)
if [ "$2" != "\"\"" ]
then
args="$args $1 \"$2\""
fi
shift 2
;;
-i) if [ "$2" != "\"\"" ]
then
file=~/.mutt/tmp/$(basename $2)
mv $1 "$file"
args="$args -i \"$file\""
fi
shift 2
;;
*) args="$args $1"; shift;;
esac
done
remsh davinci /home/garyjohn/bin/HP-UX/xterm-color -display $DISPLAY -e
/home/garyjohn/bin/HP-UX/mutt_for_mozex $args &
--------------- /home/garyjohn/bin/HP-UX/mutt_for_mozex ----------------
#!/usr/bin/sh
#
# mutt_for_mozex - interface script to allow mozex on Linux to invoke
# mutt on HP-UX in an xterm window -- HP-UX side
# Critical environment settings missing from xterm's execution environment.
#
export TERMINFO=/home/garyjohn/lib/xterm-terminfo
# Without this, slang fails to
# initialize and causes mutt to
# exit.
PATH=.:$HOME/bin/HP-UX:$HOME/bin:$PATH # Without this, mutt uses
# /usr/bin/vi which, for some

mutt "$@"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
echo "Mutt returned a non-zero exit status. Hit Enter to close window."
read x
fi
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second script is bascially 'mutt "$@"' with some other stuff
needed for the idiosyncracies of my environment. For your purposes,
you could probably do with just the first script with the following
modifications:
1. Replace 'remsh davinci ... &' with 'mutt $args'.
2. Delete the '-i)' case and process all your argument using
the '-s|-c)' case.
I would give you a simpler script, but I would have no way of
testing it and I don't like posting scripts I haven't tested.
One final caveat: I tweaked this mess until it worked, then left it
alone, so I don't claim that it's pretty or even very good.
HTH,
Gary
