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. eric -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 + No Gnus v0.18
