[jira] Commented: (JSIEVE-11) Discard specified with other actions

["Steve Brewin (JIRA)" <se...@james.apache.org>]

Steve Brewin commented on JSIEVE-11:
------------------------------------

>From RFC 3028, section 4.5. Action discard...

"Discard is used to silently throw away the message.  It does so by simply canceling the implicit keep.  If discard is used with other actions, the other actions still happen.  Discard is compatible with all other actions.  (For instance fileinto+discard is equivalent to fileinto.)"

I do not see anything in the spec. that says that discard cannot be followed by other actions. While it may be a weird thing to do this would include a 'keep' action that reasserts the keep state cancelled by 'discard'.

I am unclear as to if you concur with this interpretation of the spec. or our implemenentation of it. 

If the latter, attaching a junit test that demonstrates the error would be cool as we can add it to our testsuite once the agreed behaviour is determined.

> It seems that discard cannot be combined with any other actions. Currently keep action will be taken.
> One solution is requiring the client to validate this. Alternatively, add ActionDiscard to the actions list in MailAdapter to allow validation later.
