That is nifty -- I didn't know it existed either. It seems slow on this machine though, and after using it in thread-view-mode, inbox-mode seems to have lost its mind a bit.

I had wondered if the behavior the original poster was after might be akin to vim's 'scrolloff' setting. 

Setting scrolloff=10 in vim means the selected line moves freely up and down but you're always going to have 10 lines of context at the edges; that is, the text starts scrolling upward when the selected line reaches 10 lines from the bottom. It kind of applies a 'force field' to the top and bottom edges of the page view so you never hit top or bottom of the viewport until you're at the top or bottom of the file itself.
