    If you changed your procmail recipes file such that ALL incoming 
mail now goes into some folder or other rather than remaining in the 
INBOX in the spool, then Pine would beep _only_ when a piece of mail 
was received _only_ when you had that particular folder open (i.e., 
the folder that mail was being stuffed into by procmail).  What you 
are describing is not necessarily "broken" behavior but may just be 
the way Pine works in conjunction with filters such as procmail.
