[Dovecot] sieve + redirect + as attachment
Is it possible to use the 'redirect' function in 'sieve' to forward a message as an attachment rather than in-line?

Unfortunately, no. I thought the (draft) enclose extension could provide this new feature, but the specification explicitly excludes redirect from being affected:
http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-ietf-sieve-mime-loop/#page-11
I am not sure exactly why. To my knowledge this is not provided by any other Sieve feature/extension.

Honestly, I get confused reading RFCs. Since there is an 'enclose' extension, exactly how is it intended to be used? In any case, sieve seriously needs a way to forward a message as an attachment.

What is your exact application? I can take this issue to the Sieve mailinglist.

Cool. I will elaborate more fully then. Since this is not a dovecot specific problem, I will reply to you directly.

One use case I would need is for a spam bucket.
We have an out-sourced anti-spam service, and I have more than a few ancient email addresses that get nothing but spam, and I'd like to be able to forward all inbound messages (server side, as they come in) to a designated address(es), but our provider requires them to be forwarded as an attachment.

Interestingly enough, that is one of reasons that I would benefit from sieve having the ability to forward-as-attachment; possibly with the ability to use multiple addresses in the process.
