Yes, there is. Committed to repository. Group numbering follows
the order in which the corresponding capabilities were listed.
By the way, shouldn't sieve understand --license option as other
utilities do?

I've commented it in my previous posting. I think it's time we came to
an agreement about the file-naming scheme:
1. The directory for config files is quite OK. I like the idea, too.
2. Naming utility-specific configs in "~/.<utility>rc" fashion would
be quite OK, but it breaks mail functionality.
To restore broken mail functionality, there are three possible ways:
1. Rename its mailutils-specific config file to something else.
Drawback: This will produce an inconsitency in the naming scheme.
Besides, corresponging code in mu_argp.c will look quite kludgy.
2. Do not use mailutils-specific config for this utility at all.
Seems quite OK, since it has its own traditional configuration
file.
Drawback: Inconsistency again. Besides, neither --mail-spool
nor --lock-flags are covered by the traditional ~/.mailrc
3. Use another naming scheme for config files.
(Of course, I do not consider dropping the traditional ~/.mailrc
functionality, it will be worse than anything)
Personally, I'd vote for number 3. The format of our configs is
mailutils-specific so keeping their names mailutils-specific seems
quite logical. Again, there may be someone who has good reasons for
using both mailutils and some other mail software, and it'd be
a good thing if the configuration files won't collide.
Opinions?

Sergey
