The problem with multiple fileinto can be shown in
the following example:

fileinto "INBOX/TodayMail";
setflag "\Deleted";
fileinto "INBOX/FromBoss";
setflag "\Answered";

The second setflag relates to the first or second fileinto?

I think the simplest approach is also very clear. Any setflag applies only to subsequent fileintos (which may be the default fileinto inbox).

Alexey, how would you feel about pursuing setflags as an extension
after the Sieve base spec is published?  As useful as I think setflags
is, I think we need to focus on keeping Sieve simple and getting it out
the door.

I really want SIEVE to be published as standard as soon as possible.
I don't want setflag to be added to the base spec. Do you propose to abandon
setflag until SIEVE is published as RFC?

I wouldn't say abandon. I think it is worth continuing work on in parallel, but make it clear that it is an extension, both in the draft and in mailing list discussions.
