I know you will do everything in gnus, but I'll throw a few non-gnuscentric ideas out anyway! If IMAP or nntp requires connecting too frequently, consider uucp to handle the disconnected thing. You can configure it to use ssh as well: http://perso.linuxfr.org/penso/article/uucp+ssh.html#toc6 http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/uucp-over-ssh/ uucp is attractive for composing email while disconnected. mew also has a nice queue feature, which holds mail until a connection to an MTA can be made, and maybe gnus could incorporate that. > * Secondly, there is the shared email thing.

You are already thinking that nntp or IMAP is best for sharing efficiently, otherwise, mailing lists and aliases. > * Some of these mails are todo items.

Thanks for sharing your progress and problems. Chris
