This does sound useful.  But I would have thought that if a well-known
bug/feature in the Demon version of KA9Q's smtp client were altered (the 
use of the smtp wait value in the nntp wait function) then one should be 
able to get this effect from the smtp settings on-line or in autoexec.net. 
Indeed, perhaps "smtp wait 0" or "smtp wait -1" could be made to mean 
"send only via gateway" and "never send via gateway".
