Subject: can't send when imap mailbox is unavailable

Is it as designed that you can't send mail with pine while your imap mailbox
is unavailable?

This is with pine 4.20.   I have mail copies saved in sent-mail on my 
IMAP server.

Shouldn't it ask me if I want to send it without saving a copy? (Sort of like
how ATMs let you still get money when they've run out of receipt paper.)

I DO have an smtp server set up, that is still reachable.

You can always change your fcc folder momentarily, press Ctrl-R in the
headers of the message and define another "Fcc" field, not in your imap
server. You can save them later to your sent-mail folder when the IMAP
server is up again.
