Agent does not send mail immediately

Agent does not send mail immediately

[Gerd Boerrigter]

Hi,

I just found out today, why my mails from last week where not send.
They still where in the 'nndraft:queue' box.  I might use gnus in a
strange way.  Everything is locally available except one IMAP-Server I
like to use without downloading the mails.  So nnimap is the right
tool for that.  And reading mail and news just works great with that
setup, even agentized -- thanks ShengHuo.

But if I send a mail, I like to use my local sendmail instead of the
agent.  I think there is no predefined way to do that.  Is there a
suitable hook, to set `message-send-mail-function' back to the
original value?  Or is it better to modify `gnus-agentize' or
`gnus-agent-send-mail' to get the desired behavior?  I am not sure,
what to do.

BTW, I am not sure if the docstring for 'gnus-agentize' is still
correct regarding the modified variables.  It seems that
`gnus-before-startup-hook' and `gnus-post-method' are not modified.
Instead `gnus-setup-news-hook' is.

Thanks,
Gerd

(if (and (boundp 'gnus-agent-send-mail-function)
         gnus-agent-send-mail-function) ;; agentized?
    (setq message-send-mail-function gnus-agent-send-mail-function)
  (setq gnus-agent-send-mail-function message-send-mail-function))

This code works for me.

For me, too, thank.  Sorry for looking stupid, but I am not quite
sure, where to put it.  Right after gnus-agentize looks a bit dull.

Thanks,
Gerd

Both are OK, before or after gnus-agentize.
