The origin bug/misfeature was spurious implicit <top> during some
pager functions, specifically <sync-mailbox>, but also <edit-type>,
<imap-fetch-mail> and some such. That was bad. Being able to continue
reading the message where you were is naturally expected, and that's a
big advantage of Brendan's gro^W elegant code.
I'd even like if $display_filter changes, and some macros exiting to
index then comming back to pager, had a way to come back to previous
line. While index:<display-message> would still go to <top> as legacy
requires, a say <redisplay-message> would go to previous position in
this last displayed mail.
Now the gross hack appears to have some drawbacks or some harmless
oddities here and there... I hope this will not result in regression to
spurious <top>.
Bye! Alain.
