I forgot to add the postprocess file, whose job is to update the unseen
sequence so that exmh will highlight messages you haven't read yet:

#! /bin/bash

# Update the unseen sequence in MH
cd $HOME/procmail
mpaths=`awk '/Folder:/{print $2}' new`
for mpath in $mpaths
do
    mpos=`echo $mpath | awk -F/ '{print NF-1}'`
    folder=`echo $mpath | cut -d/ -f1-$mpos`
    msgno=`echo $mpath | awk -F/ '{print $NF}'`
    seqf=$HOME/Mail/$folder/.mh_sequences
    newseqf=$HOME/Mail/$folder/.mh_sequences_new
    touch $seqf

    if grep unseen: $seqf >/dev/null
    then
	    sed "/^unseen:/s/\$/ $msgno/" <$seqf >$newseqf
	    mv $newseqf $seqf
    else
	    echo unseen: $msgno >>$seqf
    fi
done

cat new >> log
rm new
