Gmail does that.
No, it doesn't.

While connected to the net via wifi at the univernity, I don't want
Kmail to send/recieve mail. So I switch it to Offline mode. However,
every minute (when it would otherwise pull down new messages via POP3)
it pops up a message askng if I want it to go online. How can I tell
it once and for all that I DON'T want it to go online until I
specifically tell it to? Thanks in advance.

You'll recognise the layout as being copied from a gmail account.
What you and Charles may be thinking of is that, rightly and properly, most
clients drop everything after the '--' when you reply.
