Ah! Like when your emacs cursor is at the bottom of the window, and
you press down arrow. It 0.5 pages, and places the cursor on the
centre line. I hate that. :-)
In your case, just ignore the index window. With that fix above,
it'll continually re-centre the pager_index_lines as you go from one
mail to the next.
You might try searching the mutt-user's list archive, or
comp.mail.mutt archives.
