Thanks for the patch! There is a glitch: When in threaded index,
subjects of replies randomly appear and disappear while you scroll past
top. And I'm not sure if allowing top unstuck menus is usefull.
Sorry, I was too short. What I meant, written one year ago when
$menu_context was named $index_context and not yet included in Mutt,
was:

Bottom move_off seems to me both natural and usable, and move_off=no
also, so it's a wanted user option. But top move_off... Well I'll
continue experimenting it longer, but so far I'm not convinced of its
interest. And if there is interest, one should probably have a sticky
top unsticky bottom choice.
Thanks again, bye! Alain.
