That's what I wanted too say : the agent is useless to me because I
always use gnus from a connected host. I do not have a laptop (yet) so I
never had to read or write messages while offline. So maybe that you
still need the agent for that purpose.

IIRC for the reading part, the cache should behave like the agent,
should'nt it ?

I plan to get an iBook soon, maybe I will have the same problems as you
by that time ?
