Having broadcast that to the world, I've just noticed what a bad idea it
is:
"procmail -d '%T'; notify"
returns always notify's status code of 0, so fetchmail never becomes aware
of any procmail failure.
mda "procmail -d '%T' && notify"
fixes that (and also differs in that it doesn't ring if the mail isn't
delivered).
