It happens to me, too. Usually with the newsletter of the local Cinema.
These emails are packed with images and expand downwards to more than
ten times their initial length after everything has been loaded.

I usually click on the email, then proceed to do something else in my
browser and then come back to look at the films. Guess it's got to do
with the internal HTML-implementation. It's just not as fast as a
proper browser and I think it is unable to pre-render space for images
even if they have a size given in the html. Might be a good idea to
look into that.

Best wishes,
simbabque

Well, that's a comfort.

That would seem to be a good explanation but I don't ever recall
seeing any changes in the content of the email. I suppose a good test
would be to simply wait several seconds before scrolling down the
message. If it was being caused by a not-yet-completed download, it
shouldn't happen if you wait before scrolling.  I'll try it.

I can confirm that this has happened to me.

I assume that the mail (with all pcitures) has not been completely
downloaded when I start reading, and for each picture downloaded, the
screen jumps to the top again.

Unwanted view changing

Fellow list members,

I have my screen set up as follows:

Whenever I click on an HTML email it is immediately displayed with the
very top of the email showing in the preview pane and I have to scroll
down to see the rest of the email. However, since upgrading to v4.0.38
I find that after scrolling down, a second or two later the view will
immediately pop back up to the top of the email. I then have to scroll
back down to where I was in order to continue reading. Usually it will
happen a second time as I'm reading but seldom more than twice.

Nothing appears to have changed in what I was seeing so I'm ruling out
some kind of update to the display although I can't think of any other
reason why it might do this.

Ideas?
