It does.

1. using "kmailsevice" will not work.
2. kmail with no argument or %t will get toe mailto address in the To field.
3. %t %s will place the subject in some form in .... the next To field
4. %U will itself appear in the To field.
5. Any other text after  the %t or %s will simply be appended.

So .. almost there. What next?
