The option could also leverage > draft-bosch-sieve-special-use to do something like :fcc "\\Sent" I have a complete implementation of :fcc for vacation which also interacts with specific fileinto options (mailbox, imap4flags, special-use). My question, before I start writing up a draft, is what the exact grammar should look like: vacation VACATION-OPTS [ ":fcc" FILEINTO-OPTS <mailbox: string>] <reason: string> OR vacation VACATION-OPTS [ ":fcc" <mailbox: string> FILEINTO-OPTS ] <reason: string> OR vacation VACATION-OPTS [ ":fcc" <mailbox: string> ] FILEINTO-OPTS <reason: string> where VACATION-OPTS is the expected: [":days" number | ":seconds" number] [":subject" string] [":from" string] [":addresses" string-list] [":mime"] [":handle" string] and FILEINTO-OPTS is: [ ":create" ] [ ":flags" <list-of-flags: string-list> ] [ ":specialuse" <special-use-flag: string> ] At this point I prefer the first choice since it looks a lot like fileinto itself and has the FILEINTO-OPTS booked-ended. The last choice allows all of the options to appear in any order (including inter-mingling of VACATION-OPTS with FILEINTO-OPTS), but also removes the dependency of FILEINTO-OPTS on :fcc, which would allow a nonsensical :create or :flags to be used outside of :fcc. Note that we do have at least one existing action command that has an option dependent on another: deleteheader" [":index" <fieldno: number> [":last"]] ...
