I've written one that works ok.  It's a shell script.  It still has debugging
on, so watch for that rcvburst.output file!

#! /bin/sh -x						# lose the -x
exec 2>>rcvburst_output					# delete this line
/usr/lib/X11/mh/rcvstore 
ls -t $HOME/mail/inbox > /tmp/rcvburst$$
read latest_msg < /tmp/rcvburst$$
rm -f /tmp/rcvburst$$
exec /usr/bin/X11/burst +inbox `basename $latest_msg`

To make it non-debugged, follow the comments.  Let me know how it goes.
