It looks like pipe addon specification at
http://hg.rename-it.nl/pigeonhole-0.2-sieve-pipe/raw-file/tip/doc/rfc/spec-bosch-sieve-pipe.txt
notes ":args" usage is possible but the implementation source at
https://github.com/dovecot/pigeonhole/blob/master/src/plugins/sieve-extprograms/cmd-pipe.c
shows it was implemented as follows:
pipe "sieve-pipe-example" [ "first-arg", "second-arg" ];
My test sieve is now working, but I don't understand why I wasn't able to
use ":args" format noted in the specification document.
