I have recently started receiving a lot of mail which has brought to my
attention a behaviour of mutt that is really annoying me.  If new mail
arrives while I am reading a message in the pager, when I press 'i' to 
return to the index, mutt jumps backwards a few hundred emails, so that
the highlighted message is not the message I was previously viewing.
I want mutt to stay on the message I was reading when I switch back to
the index.

I didn't see anything in the FAQ about it and I don't see any
configuration options to prevent this behaviour, although I hope there
are some.

I have qmail delivering to a Maildir.
