You're close with the syntax, but you missed a couple of quotes, etc. 
Also, you can't insert CRLF in a text string (they'll be treated as 
escaped 'r' and 'n').  If you want multi-line output, you need to use a 
text: block.  E.g.:

notify :method "mailto" :options "mailto:me at my.tld" :message text:
New message in your shared folder.
FROM: $from$
Subject: $subject$
.
;



Note that the $text$ and $text[n]$ variables are only available in Cyrus 
v2.3.
