It's an interesting issue. Do you need this in general or is it more 
like a top vs in-between posting issue? I hadn't thought of it, but the 
auto-scroll might not make much sense for top-posters (which are likely 
in the majority). For example, for top-posting MailMate could be told to 
*not* auto-scroll if the view is already scrolled further down than the 
auto-scroll position would be.
