If you need the headers of the message then you have to use the pipe 
through action according to the documentation. The run program action 
only passes the message body and other message parts (like attachments) 
to the program which is run.

The pipe through action works for me. Maybe your filter rule doesn't 
match or you didn't enter the correct program name (including the full 
path). If KMail doesn't find the program which should be executed then 
KMail silently ignores the filter action.
