AW: Resubmission after N days

[Randall Gellens]

Is there an extension to allow Sieve to reprocess messages?  Normally, Sieve is executed as new messages arrive. Once the message is filed or rejected, Sieve is done and won't get called again on the same message.  Now, you could have some other external script that checked periodically for the attributes. Or you could just have your client mark it unread.
