Some people use the Agent offline thing as a real "offline" thing. That is, when they don't have a connection. However, most people use the Agent just as a dynamic cache, and the sending queue as a "eek, I didn't mean to send that email, let me delete it" thing. In the latter case being "strict" about the unpluggedness when sending was just too annoying. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
