Keep selected message in middle of message list pane

I've already set the pref to restore the scrollbars all the time. My question was whether the selected message could be automatically scrolled into the middle of the pane so I can always see a couple newer messages than the selected one (assuming there are any) in the pane.

Thanks.

I think I understood you correctly, but as I noted, it's tricky :) It might be easier and/or more robust if I provided a key binding selector to center the currently selected email.

Oh, that one already exists (if it works). Try this one:

`centerSelectionInVisibleArea:`

If it works I should probably document it :)

Yeah, not only that, but:

sharakan% egrep centerSelectionInVisibleArea *
Standard.plist: "^l" = "centerSelectionInVisibleArea:";

...and it works great.

I have been using Control-l ("Control l", Ctrl-L, "C-l") since I switched to MailMate, Don't remember how I found it, perhaps I just used the key one day as an EMACS user. In Emacs pressing the C-l a second time aligns at the the top, and a third time at the bottom, a fourth centers again... should I open a new ticket to request that behaviour?
