Subject: An Idea for Gnus
Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2007 17:38:56 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3d4ulvfy7.fsf@ieee.org> (raw)

I sometimes like to work at "lightning speed" and don't want to wait
for 30 seconds (or more) for gnus to send a message to the server and
copy the sent message into the sent message folder. It "Sure Would Be
Nice" (TM) if gnus could be made "multitasking"so that message
transmission is done in the background while control of gnus is returned
immediately back to the user. An auxiliary buffer could be maintained 
with the result of the transmission so that the user could come back
at a later time and check to see that the message was successfully 
transmitted.

Good idea? Any comments?
