Well, if you can use something different from KMail, I'll suggest some command-line mailers (as mail). With a simple shell script you can achieve what you want easily.

You could try using dcop and the openComposer call from KMailIface
Maybe it accepts a comma separated list of addresses for the to, cc, bcc parameters

well, I forgot DCOP.

You can take the list of addresses in your file, pipe them through somethink like xargs, and send kmail a DCOP request for each address.

You can use the application kdcop while running KMail, to list all the interfaces and all the functions of those interfaces available by DCOP.

You can use this functions in shell scripts through the dcop commandline tool

For example

Source code

 
1

#> dcop kmail KMailIface checkMail

will trigger a check for new mails
