Question

I want to right click on one or more files in Konqueror and create a new mail with the files as attachments. Is this possible?

Answer

Yes, by creating a service menu entry.

In the directory .kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus, relative to your home directory, create a file called sendto.desktop with the following contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Actions=SendToMailRcp
Encoding=UTF-8
ServiceTypes=all/allfiles
X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel
X-KDE-Submenu=Send To

[Desktop Action SendToMailRcp]
Name=Mail Recipient...
Exec=kmail --attach %F
Icon=kmail
