The idea that I had when I implemented autodial mode (which was not my
idea originally) is that users would be in autodial mode all the time
or they would use online/offline to change mode.

If this is the case then there is never the reason to run 'wwwoffle
-fetch' when in autodial mode because it is not possible to request
pages offline when in autodial mode.

You are saying that you want to be able to run 'wwwoffle -fetch' when
in autodial mode.  That you would have requested some pages when in
offline mode and then changed to autodial mode.

The patch looks OK, but I have not checked all the combinations.  I
will add this patch to the TODO list.
