mtxrun already has (as kind of joke) a --ansi option, so you can see
what happens if you add in the relevant section of mtxrun(.lua)
local script = e_argument("script") or e_argument("scripts")
if type(script) == "string" then
logs.writer("^[]0;"..script.."\a")
end
that is (when not seen in mail:
logs.writer("^[<eschr>]0;"..script.."<bellchr>\a")
