37.2 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.
- <SPC>
Scroll forward (
scroll-up
).- <DEL>
Scroll backward (
scroll-down
).- .
Scroll to start of message (
rmail-beginning-of-message
).- /
Scroll to end of message (
rmail-end-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. Similarly,
the command / (rmail-end-of-message
) scrolls forward to the end
of the selected message.
