Fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.01 (with the default Gnome desktop environment)
in a VM.
Then I installed KMail, KHelpcenter was not a dependency and not installed. The
Help actions in KMail opened docs.kde.org.
Next I installed KHelpcenter, now the Help actions in KMail opened KHelpcenter
as expected.
Due to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374756 the correct docbooks was not
displayed, but in fact Ubuntu got it right. This is clearly a openSUSE issue.

GUI/CLI followup (especially @Burkhard Lueck): Apparently, KHelpCenter is
available but only through a command line interface
(https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/391430-Khelpcenter-for-OpenSuSE-where-do-I-find-it?p=1848523#post1848523)
or the KDE Plasma Workspace (one graphical user interface), not the Gnome or
IceWM desktop environment GUIs. I asked about the CLI preference at a forum
(https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/521603-why-need-CLI-console-to-use-GUI-KMail-Help?p=2803654#post2803654)
before I knew it worked in KDE's DE but no one replied. Why isn't KHelpCenter
working in whatever GUI desktop environment we happen to be using? Are you
getting it in any GUI other than KDE? If not, then this may need an enhancement
request somewhere, probably first within KDE to make KHelpCenter compatible
with a competitor's GUI. An alternative would be a message that, instead of
saying essentially that we can't use the help, would say to switch DEs.

I didn't remove it, as far as I know. I install everything in a distro, even
stuff I don't want, specifically to preclude any dependency failure. I can ask
a forum about why it might be missing.

As comment #1 says, the default installation of OpenSUSE 13.2 has KHelpCenter
installed. If you removed it and got no dependency warning, please report this
to the bug tracker of your distribution.

Apparently I don't have KHelpCenter (it's not listed in the distro's Software
app or when I search the apps on the laptop). Therefore, shouldn't the window
say something about KHelpCenter, so users don't see a message that looks like a
dead end and thus wind up trying to work without access to Help, maybe
fruitlessly?

in a fresh install of openSuse 13.2 in a virtual machine Help > KMail Handbook
works for me and opens the KMail Handbook.
Do you have KHelpcenter installed?
