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.
