Gcc when article is already mailed

[Nikolaus Rath <Nikolaus@rath.org>]

Hello,

I just had the problem that I wrote a mail with Gcc to an nnimap
group. When I pressed C-c C-c, the nnimap connection had timed out, so
storing the mail in the Gcc group failed. Nevertheless the mail was
sent using smtp:

,----
| Sending...
| Sending via mail...
| Opening nnimap server...
| imap: Connecting to ebox.rath.org...
| Opening STARTTLS connection to `ebox.rath.org'...done
| imap: Connecting with STARTTLS...
| imap: Connecting to ebox.rath.org...failed
| Opening nnimap server...failed
| gnus-inews-do-gcc: Can't open server nnimap:
`----

Then I ended up in buffer containing the message. Restablishing the
imap connection was no problem in the server buffer, but I wasn't able
to figure out how to place the message in the group now. C-c C-c sends
the message by mail again.

Is there a way to store the message in the Gcc group afterwards that I
was unable to found? Otherwise I think that the message should not be
send at all if the Gcc group is not accessible.

Regards,
