i use speech synthesizer as mail notification program, so i would like to hear
i.e. From: field via speaker, before i'll change desktop to see who mailed me,
or/and hear topic of message (or even content...) 

an $FROM $TO $SUBJECT $CONTENT enviroment variables set while executing program would be handy.

Why don't you use a filter for this? Simply pipe all messages (or only important messages) 
through a script which extracts the interesting headers and then calls the speech synthesizer.
