For people on the move, having bad internet (3rd world countries), email 
system is very powerful, you can download once and work offline, 
reading/answering. You can also download the list archive and refers to 
it offline. You also have access to all patches and can apply them 
offline too.

Is this possible with GitHub?

Maybe the open source alternative, GitLab, offers a such feature.

Googling "gitlab offline" I get:

"Many of our customers do not have regular Internet access and many of 
them, being highly regulated, cannot install local copies of GitLab to 
be able to run against the provided API. [...] The work, published as 
the gitlab-ci-yaml_lint gem, is my attempt at a start to solving the issue."

This is not what I expected, but it confirms some people have troubles 
working with online-only services.

Regards,

Phil.
