Technical Summary

   The Sieve Email Filtering "include" extension permits users to
   include one Sieve script inside another. This can make managing large
   scripts or multiple sets of scripts much easier, and allows a site
   and its users to build up libraries of scripts. Users are able to
   include their own personal scripts or site-wide scripts.

Working Group Summary

   This was a popular extension within the working group. It was under
   active development for about a year and a half, during which time a
   number of suggestions were discussed, and issues were ironed out. It
   then went dormant for a year because the editors (also the two
   chairs) were very busy, and the working group as a whole was very
   quiet. Once revived, it was finished up with final editing. There are
   no controversies at this point, and there were no major controversies
   during the document's development.
