Why can't a check be made in the nn*-request-scan functions to see if a) the server in question is under control of the agent and b) if the program is plugged. If a) is no, or if a) is no and b) is yes, allow the fetching of mail. I would imagine that this check could be done in gnus-request-scan, couldn't it? > I don't want to put nnml under control of > the agent -- that would be a complete waste of time and disk space. Why not? If nothing else, it would provide consistency. That said, it's already under control of the agent - I want to be able to remove said control. I can't be the only one who fetchmails his mail, disconnects, and incs it while disconnected. I have complete control over mail outside of nnml: fetchmail gets it, and sendmail takes care of queueing it until I connect again. I want to be able to tell Gnus that it should inc mail whenever I hit `gnus-group-get-new-news' and that it should always pass mail along to sendmail when I'm done with a message.
