Ned has published the environment extension (Thanks Ned!). I would like
to solicit some reviews.
Yes please.

Some comments after a quick scan through the document:

In section 4.1:

    "place"   => Sieve processing is normally performing around or after
                 the time of final delivery. This item provides
                 additional information about the relationship to final
                 delivery. Possible return values are "MTA", meaning the
                 Sieve is being evaluated before final delivery, "MDA",
                 meaning evaluation is occurring during final delivery",
                 and "UA", meaning evaluation is occurring after final

Why not "MUA" for consistency?

                 delivery.

I would also like to add an environment item for protocol invoking the Sieve engine. The item value can be one of "SMTP", "LMTP" and "IMAP". (Or can just reuse the WITH field registry for the Received header field). Also an item that can convey that there is a single SMTP recipient would be nice as well.
Both can be used with the reject action.

Also the [expired] draft-ietf-lemonade-imap-sieve-00.txt draft defines the following environment items (as IMAPSieve.<var> variables):
cause
mailbox
changed.flags
changed.annotations.

But I guess their registration can be done in the IMAP Sieve draft itself.


The IANA registration section should use the updated Sieve extension registration template from 3028bis.
