My non-agentized nnml backend does not get new mail when the agent is
offline.

The incoming dir has a message, the agent is unplugged and I press `g'
in the group buffer:

  Reading active file via nnnil...done
  Reading active file from mail via nnml...
  Opening nnml server on mail...done
  nnml: Reading incoming mail from maildir...
  nnml: Reading incoming mail (no new mail)...done
  Reading active file from mail via nnml...done
  Reading active file from news via nntp...
  Checking new news...done

  
I switch to plugged mode and press `1g' (so that the unavailable news
server which is agentized is not contacted):

  Checking new news...
  nnml: Reading incoming mail from maildir...
  Wrote /home/nagya/gnus/mail/mail/misc/2121
  nnml: Reading incoming mail (1 new)...done
  Checking new news...done

Furthermore, it does not send normal mail, but instead stores it in
the `queue' group, when unplugged.

Okay, this behaviour conforms to the docs :-), but I think it would be
more intuitive and useful if only the outgoing transport mechanisms
covered by the agentized servers would be covered by the agent.  Hm?

Maybe I should stay `Plugged' all the time and switch only certain
servers to `offline' mode.

See the ":plugged" keyword in the documentation.

Aiee, thanks!  Remaining plugged all the time and only tagging certain
servers as offline seems to be a better idea for my setup, though.
