An example how to shift the parameters:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

n=$(( $# - 1 ))

for i in `seq 1 $n`
do
  s=$s" $i"
  shift
done

echo Line: "$s"
echo Name: "$1"

And one with sed:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

line=$(echo "$*"|sed 's/\(.*\) .*/\1/')
name=$(echo "$*"|sed 's/.* \(.*\)/\1/')

echo Line " "$line"
echo Name " "$name"

       sieveshell --help

DESCRIPTION

       sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server.	It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.

       The following commands are recognized:

	   list list scripts on server.

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

	   get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

	   delete <name> delete script.

	   activate <name> activate script.

	   deactivate deactivate all scripts.

OPTIONS

       -u user, --user=user
	   The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.

       -a authname, --authname=authname
	   The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).

       -r realm, --realm=realm
	   The realm to attempt authentication in.

       -e script, --exec=script
	   Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
