But I'm not reading previously-read email. I'm catching up on the email 
that arrived when I last had connectivity, before:

The train went into a tunnel
The conference centre wifi collapsed *again*
My $10 per hr of local hotspot prepay subscription expired
I left my hotel lobby (the only place with connectivity) for my room

etc.
