I want to duplicate the behavior possible with Eudora, which allow
auto-receive but manual send. When I set up OL 2003 to not send
automatically when connected, messages stay in the outbox even though
(1) the user account is included in F9 - SEND/RECEIVE MESSAGES
(2) the account options include sending messages AND receiving
messages.

Specifically, when I have set up OL as described above, the messages
in the Outbox use a normal font, not an italicized font.
