I'm interested in such a patch as well, should one become available.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking of if I eventually have no other choice.
But there must be a way... this system is not that complex. Since I'm not in a hurry here I'd rather prefer to create such a patch myself, instead of stressing myself in an online mode.
Just checking if maybe it's just unnecessary.

You would connect your savings wallet computer to the internet long enough to send your coins, then create a new secure offline wallet for the rest of the coins.

A bit cumbersome, but safety is often that way.

I got paranoid and I moved my savings wallet to a separate PC that has a bitcoin client (so I can check my account's balance), but is never to be connected to the network. I just bring the blockchain there on a flash disk and use the client with the -rescan switch.
But this is more of a read-only mode, just to check my balance.
Money is nothing if you cannot spend it.
So since I am already so paranoid, I am wondering now: how am I going to spend that money without connecting my wallet to the internet?

Has anyone created a way to export a signed transaction from an offline bitcoin client into a file, and then import this transaction into an online client (obviously without the wallet), so it would get broadcasted to the network?

Is there any patch/forked source tree, which does that?
I can deal with the source code - no problem.
Just don't want o re-invent the wheel, if someone has done it already.
