I do not routinely use trackpad commander but unless I am mistaken I understand this command to be a command to read a page? Actually the way I use my mac I normally sit about 10feet away from it in an armchair with headphones and keyboard and never use a trackpad so I will have to try it out by making a rare foray to my actual Mac. However what I want to do is not read the page but navigate or jump down 25 or 30 lines without the tedium of reading all the repeated messages in a Mail digest.

I guess I should set this up as a project for myself but I know nothing about 
Applescripts.

One of the really frustrating things for me is the lack of a page down or up 
command which can work in Mail Messages. This means that in really long text 
email messages, for example in a mail digest the only navigation options are by 
line or to the top or bottom of the email. Even a quick nav paragraph 
granularity will only deliver a single line as there is a line break at the end 
of each line.

This  makes navigating these digests tedious especially if they contain lots of 
repeated previous messages contents in their threads.

I wonder how difficult it would be to set up a script which had the affect of 
forcing the cursor to jump say 25 or 30  lines down or up, thus emulating  a 
page up or down command.

I have tried all the available VO navigation options in Numpad and Keypad 
commander but none of them will work in Mail Messages so this would be a 
genuinely useful script.
