I often use the space bar to scroll down in a long email. However, when you get to the bottom instead of stopping it launches the next message. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an email that is long enough to scroll
2. Hit the space bar to scroll down 
3. Notice how it will eventually open the next email
Actual Results:  
It opens the next email.

Expected Results:  
Stop scrolling and stay on the email.

this is the way it has always worked. WAD - Working As Designed.

If you feel it should not work this way, feel free to reopen this bug and change the severity to enhancement.
