[9front] Mail: scroll top top of message

[Nicola Girardi]

Hi, I was looking to make acme Mail show the top of newly opened
messages; I've used the scrollbar manually for years now and finally
decided to try and automate that...  this works for me, posting here
in case it's useful for anyone else.

 	return 0;
 }

Hm, no objections, but the newly opened messages start at
the top for me; do you have steps to reproduce?

Ori, you're right, no patch needed in 9front.

I use Mail both in p9p and in 9front and I was sure I was observing
the same behavior; so sure that I ported the p9p fix I'd done an hour
ago without first reproducing with vanilla Mail.

Sorry for the noise!
