I've been curious about Sieve but there's no info on using it with
Gnus.  Also I found Cyrus IMAP painful when I set it up and at the time
it was the only decent Sieve implementation.

Does anyone use it with dovecot (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve)?  Do
we have ManageSieve support in Gnus, and if not, can it be added?
