Hi folks,
I have published a new version of the include draft. Note that this is NOT
a working group item - its a personal submission. I am aware of at least
two implementations of this (one complete, one in progress) and think it
worth publishing at proposed status, though experimental might also be
applicable. That's an open question for debate.
One other issue: how should include scripts interact with variables? Some
questions to illustrate this problem:
1) Should a variable defined in a 'parent' script be available in 'child'
(included) scripts?
2) Should a variable defined in a 'child' script be available in the
'parent' script after the point of inclusion? And if so, should those
variables be available to other 'child' scripts included after that point?
3) Should variables defined in a 'child' script only be local to that
script?
Comments?

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : SIEVE Email Filtering: Include Extension
Author(s) : C. Daboo
Filename : draft-daboo-sieve-include-03.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 2005-8-24
The SIEVE Email Filtering "include" extension permits users to
include one SIEVE script inside another. This can make managing
large scripts or multiple sets of scripts much easier, as well as
supporting common 'libraries' of scripts. Users are able to include
their own personal scripts or site-wide scripts provided by the local
SIEVE implementation.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-daboo-sieve-include-03.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
