Gnus just expects that people who use the agent have a dialup connection and can't receive mail when unplugged, either. If you wish to have a semi-plugged behavior, maybe you'll be better off installing Leafnode on your machine and then using Gnus normally (ie plugged) but point it at the Leafnode on your machine. > another thing, still in Agent, how could i edit a message send with agent ? > You know it is dropped in Drafts before being really sent, and this way you > can edit it...

Strange. I would expect `D e' then editing, then `C-c C-c' to do the right thing. > oh, btw, what ia a "hook" ?

And most Emacs packages are written such that they execute the code in such variables at predefined points during their operation. Gnus has a lot of hooks. With hooks, you can do more customization than by just setting other variables -- you can write a function which does stuff based on the phase of the moon, say, and then add this function to a hook, and soon you have an Emacs with behavior dependent on the phase of the moon! Together with midnight.el this might be a way to remind one when one's girlfriend is likely to be petulant (? right word?) ;-) kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
