On email systems that allow for "subaddressing" or "detailed
addressing" (e.g., "ken+sieve@example.org"), 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. 

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG.  Requests to be
added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
