I noticed the same thing with Evolution, long ago, that I can't simply
page up and down by clicking above or below the scroll bar, any more.
It jumps to what's essentially a random spot, since you have no way to
actually pick a specific part of the message list that you want to see.
You're pretty screwed if you don't have a mouse wheel and you want to
page through things.

However, Firefox is still working the good way.  And I never knew about
middle clicking in the scroll bar area, before.
