Maybe put the following into the Group parameters section (at line
2960 of gnus.texi from cvs):
,----
| @item sieve
| @cindex sieve
| This parameter contains a Sieve test that should match incoming mail
| that should be placed in this group.  From this group parameter, a
| Sieve @samp{IF} control structure is generated, having the test as the
| condition and @samp{fileinto "group.name";} as the body.
| 
| For example, if the @samp{INBOX.list.sieve} group has the @code{(sieve
| address "sender" "sieve-admin@@extundo.com")} group parameter, when
| translating the group parameter into a Sieve script (@pxref{Sieve
| Commands}) the following Sieve code is generated:
| 
| @example
| if address "sender" "sieve-admin@@extundo.com" @{
|         fileinto "INBOX.list.sieve";
| @}
| @end example
| 
| To generate tests for multiple email-addresses use a group parameter
| like @code{(sieve address "sender" ("name@@one.org" else@@two.org"))}.
| When generating a sieve script (@pxref{Sieve Commands}) Sieve code
| like the following is generated:
| 
| @example
| if address "sender" ["name@@one.org", "else@@two.org"] @{
|         fileinto "INBOX.list.sieve";
| @}
| @end example
| 
| See @pxref{Sieve Commands} for commands and variables that might be of
| interest in relation to the sieve parameter.
| 
| The Sieve language is described in RFC 3028.  @xref{Top, Emacs Sieve,
| Top, sieve, Emacs Sieve}.

Sorry not to send a patch, but when editing the file with GNU Emacs
21.3.1 and then generating a cvs-diff I end up with a 1MB patch...

Greetings,
Jochen
