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” (SeeDrafts).  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’, SeeAgent 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’, See
 Agent Variables).
