I know it sounds picky, but I'm just trying to achieve some neatness.
More conretely, it would be neat if I could write
save "Bärs/Budweiser"
in my .formward, and it would be automagically transformed
into /home/magnus/Maildir/.B&AOQ-rs.Budweiser/ (the modified UTF-7 can be
taken care of with ${perl} for now). It's much more difficult to transform
just the right part if $home is always prepended.
But my main point is that it's always possible to get the current behaviour by
setting file or directory to ${if eq{${length_1:$address_file}}{/}
{$address_file}{$home/$address_file}} in the transport. The reverse isn't
possible. Therefore, and because paths in Sieve filters don't automatically
get $home prepended, an option not to automatically prepend $home is
warranted. It should be simple to implement too.
