The problem with this is that I'm not sure how exactly it should work.
For example if the Sieve script has "keep" command, should it really
save it to INBOX, or should it just ignore and let the next script
handle it (and only use the final script's "keep")?

What if the first script eg. forwards the message somewhere, should the
second script still be run?

I think there should be some "exit" command in Sieve so you could
specify which behavior you want, but there isn't..
