Hi Eike, It depends how you return to the index. Right now, if you hit <exit>, and then re-open the message, Mutt does not remember the position. It only remembers the position if you hit up,down,tab, etc (a keymap that intends to open *another* message but fails), and then re-open the same message again. This is what I meant when I said "I consider the original behavior a mistake". Mutt is purposely clearing the position when you deliberately exit the message. All other operations are saving the position, but this was meant to be just for those redirecting back to the same message (sort, sync, toggle headers, break/link thread, edit type, and pgp-check-traditional). This isn't something I would bother fixing, except that it causes a bug. Once in a while, a message happens to share the same address as the last saved header pointer, and the pager tries to open the new message and scroll down to the position in the old message. -- Kevin J.
