The other solutions did not work for me.  
When the external editor is first opened:

$ lsof -p `pgrep kmail` | grep s18228.tmp
kmail   18228 overstre   35u   REG              253,0        0  1056790
/home/overstre/.kde/tmp-panic/kmails18228.tmp

Now after saving text in the external editor:

$ lsof -p `pgrep kmail` | grep s18228.tmp
kmail   18228 overstre   35u   REG              253,0        0  1056790
/home/overstre/.kde/tmp-panic/kmails18228.tmp~

Kmail no longer has the original file open, but instead the backup file.  Now
when the editor is closed the backup file which is empty gets passed to kmail.
The workaround is to save the original file to backup file before closing the
external editor.
