mailx is the traditional answer, but won't do attachments
mutt will do attachments
either will require postfix or similar running.

If you really meant 'from Konsole'  and not 'from a console'
you can do
kmail -s subject --body 'this is the message'  user at devnull.org
and it will launch kmail with all that info filled out already
kmail --help for details
