Yup. I did contact Fastmail. Thank you for the suggestion and thank you for weighing in.

It's not a 'help the user get the Sieve script right' measure. But rather it's a poorly implemented """security""" measure. The prompt says something like 'just checking it's you -- please enter your password'. Under my account name, over the past 15 years, there's been hundreds of edits to my Sieve script. Not even one has come from someone other than me. This is true for damn-near all Sieve users, I bet.

Someone who's savvy enough to use Sieve tends to know what she or he is doing -- and that includes looking for nefarious modifications. A 'Sieve script modified recently' banner would e a lot less annoying!

If Fastmail's gonna meddle with thie Sieve sequence then it ought to diff the scripts so that only the really truly """high-impact or high-risk changes"""" (e.g., `redirect` directives) are subject to the annoying password prompt.

It's a lazy implementation and, as my renewal date nears, it makse me pause.
