Miles,
I am curious as to your point (1) above. Can you expand on the
annoyances and confusion caused by offline mode?
I use offline mode every twice, twice a day, while on my train journeys
to and from work. I do almost all of my email processing during these
periods! offline mode seems to work just fine for me. I'm using gnus
this way right now and this email will be sent when I get to my office.
