Not sure about Kmail, but other email programs I checked did not support a drag-drop format for this. If Kmail does have such a drag-drop format I would be very happy to implement and would even consider migrating to Kmail myself for this ...
Drag and drop works by negotiating a format between two programs. A typical format is to just send a list with urls (this is e.g. what happens when you drag-drop from a file manager into zim). For email the email program would need to support urls that e.g. refer to a unique mail id (bonus points if it can still be found be ID after it moved). Of course the email program also needs to support opening a message based on such an url.
If they would have this and use the standard format (text/url-list) it would work already in zim and you would see the links after drag drop (although they would not necessarily open with the right program).
Maybe you can check Kmail development documentation or contact them to find out of any such protocol is available.
