Can I prevent pop mail fetching when unplugged

Can I prevent pop mail fetching when unplugged

[Francois Felix Ingrand]

I am starting to move my mail to Gnus and at home I use Quassia Gnus to read
the news. I also grab some mail list using a homebrewed version of popper which 
allows me to grap procmail spools (one pop account per mail list).

Can I prevent gnus to grab the mail (when hitting g) when the agent is
disconnected? I just want to make sure that I do not start my PPP link by
mistake...

Basically, I would like to plugged gnus, hit g (this would grab the mail too),
J S, J s, J j , et voila. Any subsequent g would not bring the link up.

Moreover, can I specify a SMTP delivery mechanism? Thanks in advance,

BTW: has the pb of multiple agent'ized nntp server been solved?

This is how it operates by default :-).

When unplugged, 'g' does almost nothing.  (It will show you new
articles in, say, the nndraft:queue group).

When unplugged, it stores all the mail in a queue and waits for you to 
hit 'J S' once your plugged again.

In fact, I was a little bit over optimist in writting this. I have not been
able to tell Gnus to fetch my mail using a different pop account for each nnml
group... Is this possible at all? if yes, how?

Basically, on my work machine, I dispatch maillist using procmail. Then I have
a home made version of popper which can grab any spool file (I just give
username#spool_pathname@hostname). At home, I am moving my maillist to GNUS I
would like to grab those pop spools using my modified popper, each spool in a
different nnml group. Does it sound possible at all?

Thanks in advance,
