Indeed you are, jschlub.

I tailed my .procmailrc and found that I was passing bollocks parameters to
xmessage. The XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY variables set in .procmailrc did the
trick.

Now, all I have to do is install gmessage (not included with Helix Gnome it
seems) for the time being, write a new pop up thingy and prettify the emails
it pops up, and everything will be set up right. ;)


Thanks, Gus!
