I do much of my emailing while disconnected.  My typical workflow, on
the way to work in the morning on a train say, is:

1. start emacs
2. M-x gnus-unplugged
3. read and respond to emails, sending with C-c C-c which queues up the
   messages as I am *unplugged*.
4. when I connect to the Internet, e.g. when I get to my destination,
   switch to plugged (J j) and, in the Group buffer, send all queued
   messages (J S).

Repeat as desired! (e.g. on the way home)  This relies on servers being
"agentised" and updating (J s) the agent while connected, something I do
just before leaving home or work.

It might be nice if messages got sent automatically when I connect
("plug") but it's a minor thing and, in fact, I like having explicit
control about when the queued messages are sent.
