Here's how I do that.  I get my mails with fetchmail by the way.

I have following at the beginning of my .procmailrc:
--->8---
:0ch
|/home/david/bin/mail-notification
--->8---

and my mail-notification:

--->8---
#!/bin/sh
# vim:et

if test -z "$DISPLAY"; then
    export DISPLAY=":0.0"
fi

while read mailline; do
    if [ "x${mailline:0:6}" == "xFrom: " ]; then
        from=${mailline:6}
        continue
    fi
    if [ "x${mailline:0:9}" == "xSubject: " ]; then
        subject=${mailline:9}
        continue
    fi
done

stumpish echo "^2*^BNew Mail!^b^n (^B${from}^b): ${subject}"
--->8---

I would be interested if you (or anybody else) would come up with a more
elegant solution.
