When you're reading a long message, there is no way to return to a
previously read section of the long message. But it's often necessary
to do that if you need to read a message carefully, rather than just
skim its content.
Currently you first need to press TAB to transfer the cursor to the
message body, and then use PAGE UP.
As soon as you do that, though, you cannot immediately move to the
preceding / next message (the CTRL+UP and CTRL+DOWN shortcuts
unexplicably do not work in preview message bodies), nor can you move
or copy the message into another folder (the CTRL+V and CTRL+C
shortcuts unexplicably do not work in message bodies).
