The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Sieve Email Filtering: Include Extension' (draft-ietf-sieve-include-15.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Sieve Mail Filtering Language Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Pete Resnick and Peter Saint-Andre. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sieve-include/ Technical Summary 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, and allows a site and its users to build up libraries of scripts. Users are able to include their own personal scripts or site-wide scripts. Working Group Summary This was a popular extension within the working group. It was under active development for about a year and a half, during which time a number of suggestions were discussed, and issues were ironed out. It then went dormant for a year because the editors (also the two chairs) were very busy, and the working group as a whole was very quiet. Once revived, it was finished up with final editing. There are no controversies at this point, and there were no major controversies during the document's development. Document Quality The issues that were worked out during document development were mostly dealing with how to specify the included scripts, how multiple included scripts interact, and how to resolve conflicts among the different scripts. The working group expects that this isn't the final version, and that it will be updated after more experience in practical use -- that is, what's here is appropriate for Proposed Standard. There are at least two implementations of draft versions, and at least two other implementors plan to implement the final version.
