I’m not sure.  How would I find out?  I just installed it on Debian using apt.

Not sure what you mean by “fancy quotes”.  The quotes I have (and the ones I see in your quoted message) are regular ascii double quotes, code point 0x22.

But I think it is actually working now.  I didn’t change anything, it just seems to have spontaneously started working.  Maybe sieve was working off an earlier version of the script that it had cached?
