gnus: Outgoing Messages
6.9.10 Outgoing Messages
------------------------
By default, when Gnus is unplugged, all outgoing messages (both mail and
news) are stored in the draft group “queue” (Drafts). You can
view them there after posting, and edit them at will.
You can control the circumstances under which outgoing mail is queued
(see ‘gnus-agent-queue-mail’, Agent Variables). Outgoing news
is always queued when Gnus is unplugged, and never otherwise.
You can send the messages either from the draft group with the
special commands available there, or you can use the ‘J S’ command in
the group buffer to send all the sendable messages in the draft group.
Posting news will only work when Gnus is plugged, but you can send mail
at any time.
If sending mail while unplugged does not work for you and you worry
about hitting ‘J S’ by accident when unplugged, you can have Gnus ask
you to confirm your action (see ‘gnus-agent-prompt-send-queue’,
Agent Variables).
