That is nifty -- I didn''t know it existed either. 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.
