I had a look into the source of dcop and, suprise, the syntax is almost 
exactly like that :)
The brackets have to be parameters of their own and if your shell uses them as 
well, you have to escape them.

dcop someapp someninterface someFunction \[ element1 element2 element2 \]
It is also possible to use parenthese ( ) as list delimiters.

If the dcop way doen't work out, you could use kmail's commandline interface.
kmail --subject "subject" --body "message text" --attach file1 --attach file2 
"toaddress"

Maybe you need --composer as well.

Please report back if the dcop list thing worked as described.

Cheers,
Kevin
