I agree, but I want to add something.

When reading a mailing list I most often want to read only messages with an
interesting subject and to mark the others as read with the n key. With 0.9.2
I
only see the messages I just have read and the one I'm reading now in the list
at the top (without scrolling using the mouse).

It would be better to see the current message in the middle so I can jump over
the next five as I see that they're about the same subject or that I've read
them before.
