<P><FONT SIZE=2>I don't understand why you would want to do that.<BR>
1. QGIS supports kml files directly (which is why I could suggest "save as" in QGIS to kml. I guess you might need to select the Google CRS when doing this).<BR>
2. It seemed the original poster was asking how to use QGIS to get coordinates into Google earth, not how to use Google earth to get coordinates into QGIS.<BR>

gpsvisualizer.com has the ability to convert kml to gpx..<BR>
qgis can handle gpx file format.<BR>
(provided the kml is a linear or node, and a small file)<BR>
