1. Install and Setup

Installation and setup of the Sieve support for Gnus is achieved by e.g. the following commands in your ~/.emacs:

(require 'sieve) (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.siv\\'" . sieve-mode) auto-mode-alist)) (require 'gnus-sieve) (gnus-sieve-setup)

This chapter describes the basic functions that this package provides.

In the Group buffer, the following commands are available:

S g

This command generate the Sieve script file (gnus-sieve-file) from the Gnus Group Parameters.

S u

This command generate the script as gnus-sieve-generate, saves it, and then invoke gnus-sieve-update-shell-command.

This commands edits Group Parameters (just as Gnus builtin G p), but inserts some example Sieve script Group parameters as comments in the buffer.

In the Summary and Article buffers, the following commands are available:

S a

This command automatically derive a Sieve script for the current article and group. Currently it just uses the Sender: header, but in the future it may become more intelligent and possibly also interactive.
