They can also be appended with ":last".

Things not looking good in the header is not really a good reason for
wanting this, is it? :)
I do understand the sentiment, though.

Well, the editheader extension was born with a replaceheader command:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-degener-sieve-editheader-00
But it was quickly removed after the first draft. I am not sure why.
So, there is currently no standard way to achieve this.
I could create a "vnd.dovecot.replaceheader" extension to reinstate it,
but no GUI would use it.
Is anyone else longing for this ability?

Stephan.
