I was trying to accomodate Noel's idea, I'm not 100% sure why he thinks we
need a SIEVE processor, but I imagine a SEIVE processor could do things
like instatiate a seive engine

Agreed, and fits the pattern etc. etc. I have no issues with this nice
work.

I was trying to visualise a system which permitted sieve flow control and
invoked mailets in response to seive.
