I'll describe what we have in 4.x and missing in Mozilla.

1. Open 4.x 3-pane Messenger Window
2. Have enough messages so that in the header pane there are more than can be 
viewed so scrolling is needed
3. Adjust header/body pane separator so that the last visible header is visible 
only partially
4. Click on this header with the mouse
5. Observe how the pane scrolls a step up to make this header fully visible 
_and_ get the next one partially visible and immediately accessible

This allows to walk quickly through your messages with only single mouse clicks 
doing nothing special to scroll the view.

I would love to see the same behaviour in Mozilla. And to my understanding 
should not be so hard to fix too.

sort of bug 76267, but not really quite the same.
Right, it is different. Both look like a huge advantage in usability though.

Should it work for all outliners or only for threadpane ?
