Is there a way to > prevent gnus to get new news at startup time, and only do it manually? I usually start Gnus with M-x gnus-unplugged when I don't want to contact any servers at startup. The drawback is that once Gnus is up, it's important to run gnus-agent-toggle-plugged (keys "J J") from the Groups menu. That will put Gnus back in normal mode (without downloading new messages). If one doesn't toggle back, Gnus will remain in off-line mode, which includes just queueing outgoing mail in nndraft:queue, and they will _NOT_ be sent automagically when one toggles back to on-line mode. One has to do that manually (i.e., go to that folder an issue "D S" (send-all-messages, or some such)), which is very easy to forget, in which case one's messages will remain unsent until the dusk of eternity. ;-) Best regards, /Liman
