This is also what I observed without the patch. > 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. which is IMHO unintuitive. If the position is remembered, this should not depend on how the message is reopened. Then, this means that the position for each message should be remembered. If such a feature is implemented, it should be optional and there should be a function to forget all the positions. > This is what I meant when I said "I consider the original behavior a > mistake".
