It is on my TODO list. However, doing this correctly is not as trivial 
as it may seem. There are a few semantical issues to resolve. For 
instance: should subsequent scripts be called if the one of the earlier 
ones execute discard? For instance, when a global script throws away the 
message, why execute the user's script (risking that it inadvertently 
restores the message)? Jutta Degener took some effort to describe a good 
way of handling multiple scripts 
(http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-degener-sieve-multiscript-00.txt), but 
this draft document has been stale for quite a while now. Note that the 
behavior described in that document is completely different from 
executing multiple scripts in succession using the include extension.

I intend to implement it largely as specified in the multiscript 
document. But even if I implement it to the letter, the necessary 
changes needed in the interpreter are also not trivial.

This feature request has a relatively high priority. But first I need to 
match cmusieve's functionality (i.e. implement enotify:mailto) and 
finish all features that are now supported. There are quite a few bits 
and pieces that need more work.

Regards,
