Filter list members,
Originally, vacation was thought of as an sieve extension because not
all sites could support it. Therefore, it was described in a separate
draft. Now that sieve has several optional features, like reject
fileinto, envelope, why don't we incoporated "vacation" as just
another optional feature in the sieve spec?
I think this is a wonderful idea. I would claim that vacation and
forwarding support are the most *generally* useful features of Sieve
because there are other ways of getting the effects of fileinto --
especially in an IMAP4 client. Not to start a holy war -- I'm just
saying that there is *no* other way to get forwarding and vacation
capabilities for a distributed mail client, and we desparately need that
capability.
Cheers.
