I am not sure what you mean by "process offline"?  Do you mean in EFA
you have to process each message individually in the webui instead of
having a group of ~50 messages that you process as a group?  Considering
I process ~300-500 messages/day, that could get very tedious very
quickly!

With Maia I generally scan through the list, mark them, maybe look at a
few messages to verify, and then process.  Even when going over ~1200
messages (which happens when there's a new Fedora release), this only
takes me ~5-10 minutes.  So it goes relatively quickly.  If I have to
click 300-500 (or 1200!) times, that would definitely be a major change
in behavior and significant time sink.  I wont call it a non-starter,
but it might quickly devolve into a system that never gets used.

Good to know.
