A quick solution.. Might help till you work out The Way(TM)..

Make up a text file, make it executable. Tell kmail to execute it on receipt 
of mail.. Quickest way, here's how I made a test up a moment ago..

========================
cat > mailmessage
write garry  
YOU HAVE MAIL!!!!!!!

(ctrl-z for EOF) 

chmod +x mailmessage
==============

You might choose to make up a c++, Perl or youfavouritealternativelanguage 
program to do similar..
