Hello, One thing''s that I''ve found a bit suboptimal in Sup has been the paging ie. scrolling of e-mails. When you reach the bottom, it scrolls the whole page up, rather than scrolling smoothly as might be the default behaviour of Vim for example. I find this really awkward at times, since I can''t see what I just read while reading the next line. It''s also just kind of jumpy. One main use case that his damages is when I''m doing patch review on mailing lists and stuff. I''ll open a long e-mail with diffs in it, and I will be scrolling to see the patch. Then, as I reach the bottom, it jumps and hides what I just read, making understanding code logic painful at times. So then I have to jump up and down some more to figure it out, but that sucks because I have to look between the top and bottom of the screen. What do you guys think? -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp. (http://www.xandros.com)

It seems slow on this machine though, and after using it in thread-view-mode, inbox-mode seems to have lost its mind a bit. I had wondered if the behavior the original poster was after might be akin to vim''s ''scrolloff'' setting. Setting scrolloff=10 in vim means the selected line moves freely up and down but you''re always going to have 10 lines of context at the edges; that is, the text starts scrolling upward when the selected line reaches 10 lines from the bottom. It kind of applies a ''force field'' to the top and bottom edges of the page view so you never hit top or bottom of the viewport until you''re at the top or bottom of the file itself. -- linkswarm.com :: Collaborative Insolence vasudeva.linkswarm.com/gallery2 :: For The Faint of Heart
