Hm, nice. But not exactly what I'm after ;) If I new /beforehand/
that I want to go back, I'd probably just tag the message.

OTOH, it sometimes, errh, often happens (and I'm not even talking
about a setup with pager_stop=no) that in my confused state of
mind I just jump to the next message, and, suddenly remember
something of the last message that could be important. In my
newsreader this is simple: I just type "l" and am in the last
read message, and when I want to continue reading the new
message, I just type "l" again. That's it.

So I guess what I'm asking for/dreaming of is that Mutt sort of
keeps the last message(-id) marked automatically, ready to jump
back anytime.

Hope I made the case a bit clearer.
