Abstract

   On email systems that allow for "subaddressing" or "detailed
   addressing" (e.g., "ken+"), it is sometimes
   desirable to make comparisons against these sub-parts of addresses.
   This document defines an extension to the Sieve mail filtering
   language that allows users to compare against the user and detail
   parts of an address.
