How feasible is it to have an :if-exists modifier-thingy for fileinto?
And a matching :even-if-doesn't-exist modifier? And to make the
_default_ change if the filename is made using a backreference?
Desired behaviour, regardless of the above, is to make it easy to have a
fileinto-if-already-exists rule, especially for when the data comes in
over the network. I also don't recall having seen anything in the
drafts on what the Sieve localpart literally consists of when the LHS of
the address is in double-quotes with non-atom characters in it. Is the
Sieve view always the literal string of the LHS? What mappings to
file-system level character restrictions should be considered when using
the proposed backreferences? quoted-pair to character translations?
