Hello,
i do some tests with sieve editheader extensions. deleteheader and
addheader are working, but i noticed that new headerlines are always
prepended to current header.
They can also be appended with ":last".
So new lines can be found always on top. I am looking for a
possibility to edit a headerline in place, without moving the new
line to top of stack(replaceheader?). It is not looking good if a
Subject-Line suddenly moves to top of header.
Things not looking good in the header is not really a good reason for
wanting this, is it? :)
I do understand the sentiment, though.
yeah, an ordinary mailheader with lines in "natural" order looks best.
Is there a possibility for me?
Well, the editheader extension was born with a replaceheader command:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-degener-sieve-editheader-00
I think replaceheader was designed as shortcut for
deleteheader->addheader. so there was no additional value.
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/sieve/current/msg02977.html
replacing without losing position would be nice.
But it was quickly removed after the first draft. I am not sure why.
So, there is currently no standard way to achieve this.
I could create a "vnd.dovecot.replaceheader" extension to reinstate
it, but no GUI would use it.
Is anyone else longing for this ability?
i hope more people would like this. if not, i would have sympathy for
not implementing this.

Stephan.
Thanks,
