new mail alerting and other little things

hello all.  couple questions for you.  My situation:  I am on several
mailing lists and wish to direct the mail to separate folders.  The main
problem is that I don't get alerted when new mail arrives since it is not
put in my inbox.  How do I get procmail to do this?  I've tried touching
my inbox file to fool my system into thinking I got new mail in my inbox,
but it didn't work.

Here's my .procmailrc:

# BEGIN

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/$USER
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail.log
SHELL=/bin/

:0:
   * ^TO: .*\<discuss(_at_)nowhere\(_dot_)com\>
   * ^CC: .*\<discuss(_at_)nowhere\(_dot_)com\>
   ntlug

:0:
   * ^TO: .*\<discuss(_at_)themiddle\(_dot_)com\>
   * ^CC: .*\<discuss(_at_)themiddle\(_dot_)com\>
   wtlug

:0:
   * ^TO: .*\<rogue-squad(_at_)tux\(_dot_)com\>
   * ^CC: .*\<rogue-squad(_at_)tux\(_dot_)com\>
   rogue-squad

# END

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
