But that's the problem- it tries to get the new mail anyway sometimes when I switch
folders! I'd just use something else, but I like Netscape; hopefully Mozilla will
solve
my problems. :-)

Yeah, I have it starting with about:mozilla :-)

"Send later" stores messages in the "Unsent Messages" folder; "Send unsent messages"
sends everything there. Works well for me, but if one uses PPP, then your solution
with
the scripts auto-sending the exim queue is the best solution I've heard of.
I wish I could do something comparable with ethernet, but as I mentioned, tying
anything
to starting the card or the networking will trigger each time I resume from an apm
suspend.
Thanks again for the PPP trick, I'm going to use it at home.
