> or sending e-mails

Better mail applications allow you to "send" the mail with no connectivity and then simply hold onto it until there's a network connection. At which point the mail is actually sent out. But for the user it's transparent. He or she hits send and (at some point), the mail goes out. I wish more phone apps did this (looking at you, Twitter).

This actually was my everyday experience back in the nineties with Pine on Debian 2.x

I liked that.
