I wrote a small program now in Delphi 3 for this. 190 kB.

It contains a TMemo component, the only code is:

procedure TForm1.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
begin
 //Stay on top
 with Self do 
SetWindowPos(Handle,HWND_TOPMOST,Left,Top,Width,Height,SWP_NOACTIVATE or 
SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE);
 //Display the first command line parameter
 If ParamCount>0 Then Memo1.Lines.Add(Paramstr(1));
end;

If you setup a filter, Run external command, set a Command line like:

C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Processing\TBAlert.exe "Text to display"

then it will popup a window that stays on top until you close it. I
allow to write into that memo box, if you need to.

Download, copy somewhere and point to that file in the filter and add
the custom text. Simple for things like "You've got mail".
