Not exactly the same thing, but here's something I worked up to notify
on the arrival of mail at a remote account. It extracts the From: and
Subject: fields. Not sure why you would want the To: field, since
that would seem obvious. Anyway, you should be able to adapt this to
your needs.

# A test.rc for procmail to forward the contents of an e-mail From: #

# the original mail. #
#######################################################################
# The idea here is to be notified when messages from certain persons #
# or on specific subjects arrive at a remote account. #
# I suspect this could <really> slow down mail delivery if every #
# incoming message passed through it. But that could be done simply #
# by setting the variables appropriately. #
