If I enter

$ kmail mailto:email_addr?subject=subject_text

kmail starts up with the destination address filled in but the
subject remains blank.  How do I get kmail to fill in the subject?

I'm using Sidux (Debian Sid) with the latest .deb updates.

Thanks!

$ kmail -s "subject_text" foo@example.com

For more options:

$ man kmail

I don't seem to have a man entry for kmail on Fedora-8.
Where does it come from?

Ah hah!  I guess I'm tangling with a poor fit between IceWeasel
and KMail.  The mailto:... I described earlier is created by the
Weasel responding to my clicking on an email link in a webpage.
I changed network.protocol-handler.app.mailto to kmail in about.config
to get Weasel to insert the addy.  Guess I must continue cut/pasting
of subject when launching kmail from the browser.

It looks as if the man page was written by the Debian package
maintainer. Here are the Kmail-specific parts:

Thanks very much.
That's useful.
