Ah, now I think I remember -- isn't the gnus agent basically the gnus
caching layer? That's useful even when connected, if the
network/server has a lot of latency.
Not sure the optimal combination for me though; the problem is that my
ISP tends to kill nttp connections even after only a short time idle,
which confuses gnus ... (and is one common reason gnus suddenly
decides to enter offline mode)
