I like this patch and would like to see it included. But I have one
nit: it appears that I have lost the ability to use 'zz' on the last
message of the index (for example).
Before applying this patch, I could be on any of the last n messages at
the bottom half of the index screen and type 'zz' and the index was
adjusted with the respective message at the center of the screen. After
I applied the patch, if I type 'zz' in the bottom half of the last index
page, nothing happens. Assuming ones index is at least one screen full,
the last message is always at the bottom of the screen. Similar
behavior for 'z\r'.
