Here's an article that describes how to do it with Outlook Express. Now
you just have to find someone who adapts the script to Mail.app.

Thanks Stefan...I'll see if I can learn scripting :-). And thanks again
for a great product...I'm spoiled now, and can't live without it.

Because there just was a request in the German Mac group too, I took the
time and wrote the script. Here it is.
-- This script masquerades as Claris Emailer; it will receive
-- a "create new message" event from MacSOUP and forward it
-- to Mail.app in the format that Mail wants.
--
-- Save the script as an application, with the "stay open" setting
-- turned on. You must also change the script's creator code
-- from 'aplt' to 'MMan', and you should set the "background only"
-- bit in the SIZE resource (open the script application with ResEdit
-- in the Classic environment to do that).
--
-- Finally, you must ensure that the script is always running, so you will
-- want to drag it into the Login Items pane of System Preferences.
on «event MManCRML» given «class SUBJ»:subj, «class BODY»:body, «class RECP»:rcpt
-- 'rcpt' is a list of recipients. Theoretically this list
-- could have any number of items, but in practice
-- there's almost always exactly one recipient, so
-- for simplicity we just use the first item of the list.
-- Each list item is a record with two members,
-- RCAD (address) and RCNM (name).
--
-- The RCNM member may be missing, so we must use
-- a try block when accessing it.
set addr to «class RCAD» of item 1 of rcpt
try
set realname to «class RCNM» of item 1 of rcpt
on error
set realname to ""
end try
tell application "Mail"
set msg to make new outgoing message with properties ¬
{subject:subj, content:body}
tell msg
set visible to true
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties ¬
{name:realname, address:addr}
end tell
activate
end tell
end «event MManCRML»

Well, I compared it to my script, and mine looks nothing like it. Of
course, mine doesn't work either...
Thanks Stefan!
