User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/0.4/thunderbird-0.4-win32.zip

When a mail message is opened in a standalone message window and the viewer is
partially scrolled down the message, and when Thunderbird retrieves a new
message from a remote POP3 server (whether automatically or manually), the
standalone message window moves the message in the standalone window _back_ to
the top of the message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a long message into a standalone message window.
2. Scroll down the message.
3. Wait for a retrieval by Thunderbird of a new message from a mailserver.


Actual Results:  
Message displayed in the standalone message window moves back to the top of the
message from the position it was scrolled down to.

Expected Results:  
The message in the standalone message window should _not_ move an iota on the
receipt of a new message from a mailserver.

This behavior has only been observed on a Windows-build of Thunderbird.  Further
tests, to see if this behavior is replicated in the Linux-build, will be
forthcoming.
Confirming on Win2k with build 20031223

Ever confirmed: true
The same bug has been observed on Thunderbird's Linux-build (20031205).
I use Windows XP Home Edition.  I have observed the same phenomenon (several
times) when viewing long e-mails in the message window within Thunderbird (i.e.,
no standalone message window even being used).  

I think this is a dupe of bug 220173.

David: would you check that bug please, and see if you agree?
Well I can reproduce the bug and it really looks like a dupe. Let's see what
David thinks.
Yeah, 220173 looks like a dupe of this bug.  The only difference I can see is
that instead of the preview pane, this happens in the standalone message window.
 Other than that, it looks the same.
Yup, it happens in both windows; duping.
