I do this:

:0
* ^(to|cc|bcc):.*\<(fvwm-annou...@math\.uh\.edu)\>
{
LOG=`datecode`" "`email-summary-line 2>&1 || :`$nl
:0whf
| formail -f -A 'X-Cats2Procmailrc-Rule: cats/home: !me,fvwm FVWM
fvwm-annou...@math.uh.edu'
:0whf
| formail -f -A 'X-Label: FVWM'
:0hwc
| announce-email "+me,fvwm" || :
:0c
/home/cameron/mail/me/
:0
/home/cameron/mail/fvwm/
}
The important bit is the accounce-email command in the middle.
Your rule becomes:
:0
* ^(Subject|From|To|Cc|Bcc):.*vip
{
:0whf
| announce-email ...
:0
$MAILDIR/inbox-vip
}
Then announce-email is a script to do your announcement.
Mine merely writes an informative one-line timestamped message to a log
file (in yellow:-).
I have an entirely separate process tailing that file in a borderless
transparent terminal on my desktop.
This gives you complete separation between logging the mail and the
announcement tool. For example, I also write other messages to that log
file.
Cheers,
