Since it is possible to create a filter which passes the whole message 
to another application or script this is, in theory, possible. In 
practice, I'm not aware of the existence of a suitable script.

No. Please submit your feature request at http://bugs.kde.org (or via 
Help->Report Bug)

To be honest, I don't think this can be implemented as a hard-coded 
filter action in KMail as this is a very special use case which would 
need to be very flexible to be useful for other people with different 
demands. I think the better approach would indeed be the usage of a 
specially crafted script tailored for your needs in combination with a 
generic "Execute Command" or "Pipe Through" filter.
