That's exactly what it does now and if the Sieve engine is to blame for
losing e-mail, it is always a bug.
Anyway, that kind of error handling is not what I meant. It pertains to
the problem that Timo described and the passing of error codes and error
strings between the Dovecot API and the Sieve engine in general. That is
all a bit ugly right now.

This type of error is mainly useful for developers, much like a
Segfault. Occurences of this kind are always a bug and are fixed as soon
as possible. Considering the fact that I've added a test for this case
in the test suite, it should not surface again in the future.
