This has nothing to do with KMail. All KMail does is pass the URL to 
KRun. KRun then decides what to do with the URL.

I don't know whether it's possible to make KRun not ask for the 
password.

Just one thought: Does the commandline to start galeon in the file 
associations for text/html contain a %u or a %f? The %u indicates that 
the program can handle a URL and a %f indicates that the program can't 
handle URLs itself. You should make sure that it contains a %u.
