Scrolling Within a Message
When Rmail displays a message that does not fit on the screen, you
must scroll through it to read the rest. You could do this with
C-v, M-v and M-<, but in Rmail scrolling is so
frequent that it deserves to be easier to type.
- <SPC>
- Scroll forward (
scroll-up).
- <DEL>
- Scroll backward (
scroll-down).
- .
- Scroll to start of message (
rmail-beginning-of-message).
Since the most common thing to do while reading a message is to scroll
through it by screenfuls, Rmail makes <SPC> and <DEL> synonyms of
C-v (scroll-up) and M-v (scroll-down)
The command . (rmail-beginning-of-message) scrolls back to the
beginning of the selected message. This is not quite the same as M-<:
for one thing, it does not set the mark; for another, it resets the buffer
boundaries to the current message if you have changed them.
