This triggers me for one important question. Do we have something like
c/c++ library that will allow us to send mails directly. Like fill the
fields in a structure(from/to etc), specify text, attachments and send.
This will be pretty useful for application developers to integrate their
applications. Something like MAPI.. 

 I think digging in kmail/kde sources will help. I will do it when I have
time...

 But anything else on similar lines?
