I just saw that 06 is finally online, because I sent my comments about
05 ages ago and 06 was announced, but I could not get afterwards.

Now that the draft specifies what it just intended to before, I
think it is clear how to write the code.

The draft is the reference, not my code. :-) Indeed I MUST add the
":addresses" value to the key, as specified by the first sentence.
Patch below.

If ":addresses" is part of the key, it ensures that the user gets all of
the various possible responses.

Again: That is not a valid Sieve script, because two vacation actions
would be executed. You must use:

> vacation :addresses ["a@b","c@d"] "I'll be back for newyears";


So no surprise here.

I hope to add the subaddress extension sometimes. What's missing is
code in Exim that does not only store the local suffix to a variable,
but also the "*" part of the local suffix to another one. The subaddress
extension does not include the fixed separator, and there may be more
than one separator and separators longer than one character, so we really
need what "*" matches. Oh well, so much to hack, so little time.
