I download all headers.
Then I mark the ones I want to read, and reply to downloaded bodies.
Then I go online again, upload replies, download marked bodies, and download
new headers.
Then I read and reply to downloaded messages off line.
And repeat the process.
Just in case you hadn't noticed, the world is divided into time zones, and the
time in some contries is different from what it is in others. When it is dark
in some countries, it is light in others.
So when I read and reply to mesages and go to bed, I wake up in the morning
and upload my replies, and then sometimes find, as in this case, that while I
was sleeping other people have been conversing. That sort of things happens
because the world is round.
I take it, though, since you were apparently not aware of this fact, that you
*don't* know the difference between "pissed" and "pissed off".
