we tried, but failed... how can you get procmail, once a recipe matched, to
use /usr/bin/write to send a message including the sender and the subject to
a terminal user(_at_)host style?

The 'write' command generally requires that it be run by a logged in user.
Running it from a process not connected to a terminal (such as procmail
when being run by the MTA) is not normally supported.
