Play a sound when mutt has new mail?

Play a sound when mutt has new mail? I'm using mutt for my mail, usually put on the 2nd monitor with some other windows. Because I'm not monitoring that monitor I often miss the new mails.

"procmail is an appropriate tool for playing a sound when new mail arrives.

I used to use this procmail recipe ...

:0c
| /usr/local/bin/wavp full_path_name_to_wav_file >/dev/null

Choose an appropriate command line player for the sound file that you wish to play."
