James,
Yes, I had thought of that, but my scripting is woefully non
existant, I have
the misfortune of being a [ugh] desk top user hemmed in by the
ongoing use
and convenience of a GUI, I can talk the talk, but as for walking,
I'm
legless..
Maybe someone as knowlegable as yourself could point me in the right
direction...
Ok, here's an idea. Assuming your Kmail is configured to use
maildir and the "root" of your mail store is ~/Mail, let's see if I
can bash something out for you. If you're using "mbox", this
script should still work (I think).

As usual, the reason I loath posting any shell scripts or programming
examples is played out on SLUG :)
1. Yes there are better ways to do this.
2. Yes I couldv'e made the whole thing a hell of a lot more terse,
but I figured I'd try to jam a few common scripting constructs in as
a learning "example" for the OP (such as for loops, pipes,
redirection and variable declaration).
3. If I was actually writing this for myself, I'd probably use Perl,
or maybe even PHP (asbestos suit on).
Nit pick away people, I'm willing to learn.
Cheers,
James
