##### Question 7.4

How to tell Gnus not to try to send mails / postings while I'm offline?

##### Answer

All you've got to do is to tell Gnus when you are online (plugged) and when you are offline (unplugged), the rest works automatically. You can toggle plugged/unplugged state by saying ‘`J j`’ in group buffer. To start Gnus unplugged say ‘`M-x gnus-unplugged`’ instead of ‘`M-x gnus`’. Note that for this to work, the agent must be active.
