From the Options menu, select Mail and News Preferences, then click on the Servers tab.
For the Check for Mail option, select Never, so you don't get an error trying to connect to the mail server.  
Then select Netscape Mail, where you can always click the Get Mail button to retrieve mail manually.
From the Netscape Mail window's Options menu, select Deferred Delivery.  This will allow you to create the 
message offline and send it once connected.
