(assuming this complaint has indeed to do with the above patch:)

Previously, <current-middle> would reposition the current message in
the midle of the index, even if it was the last message - it would
complement the index with blank lines.  I liked this behavior very
much, since it is intuitive and, IMO, correct.

Of course, for the first n messages, where n < (index_length / 2), the
current message should *not* be repositioned in the center, since
this would require blank lines previous to the first message, which is
not the order in which "we" read things.

Haven't looked at the source yet, shouldn't be too hard to make
optional, but first like to hear other people's opinion on this.
