[Dovecot] Sieve fileinto a subfolder fails -- more info, possible workaround

[Rich McAllister]

After looking at the way Maildir represents subfolders, I changed
the sieve line from

        fileinto "Lists/NCCC";

to

	fileinto "Lists.NCCC";

and now it files into the NCCC subfolder of Lists as I wanted.  I'm
not sure whether this is the expected behavior or just an accident
that plugging that string into the file name happens to result in the right
name.

I haven't tried, but if it's just passing the fileinto argument along
with minimal inspection, I'm afraid the answer might be use
"Lists/NCCC" if mail is in mbox format but "Lists.NCCC" if mail is in
Maildirs, and it certainly seems that users editing their sieve
scripts shouldn't have to know that.
