There's no way to change this /officially/, but try this:

Go to \Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\chrome
open messanger.jar in Winzip (it's a ZIP file despite the extension).

Extract msgMail3PaneWindow.js - you must extract it with the path (so it 
is extracted to <extract_dir>\content\messenger\

Open it in an editor and go to around line 180:

    if (!scrolled) {
        EnsureRowInThreadOutlinerIsVisible(0);

and comment out EnsureRow...... and add ScrollToMessage... like this:

    if (!scrolled) {
        // EnsureRowInThreadOutlinerIsVisible(0);
            ScrollToMessage(nsMsgNavigationType.lastMessage,
                                                   false, false);

so the block of code looks like this:

     // if we failed to find a new message, scroll to the top
     if (!scrolled) {
         // EnsureRowInThreadOutlinerIsVisible(0);
             ScrollToMessage(nsMsgNavigationType.lastMessage,
                                                   false, false);
      }
    }
    SetBusyCursor(window, false);


Now you need to add the file back into msgMail3PaneWindow.jar but you 
must do this with the path, so from the Add dialogue select "Freshen 
existing files" from the Action drop down and chose <extract_dir>.
