Evolution starts at the top, but, if the email address has a signature,
it puts that at the bottom.  And I notice that paging down sometimes
acts a little peculiar, as though some of the blocks of text are treated
like an image (when your cursor is focused on that block, page-up/down
causes the terminal to beep)...
