Only if the connection fails, the server is switched offline. I wonder whether this really is a desirable behaviour. Personally, I clearly prefer gnus to behave "unplugged" as it tells me in the mode line. If I really want to open one of those servers, I can still do so explicitly in the server buffer. Also, the current behaviour should be rather annoying in an dial-on-demand setup. Shouldn't gnus-agent-close-connections switch all agentised servers offline? Regards, Elias
