Description

In Apple Mail, you can scroll the message content using the Page Up and Page Down keys. You used to be able to scroll the message list using Control–Page Up and Control–Page Down. In Mac OS X 10.9, this only works if no messages are selected. This script makes it work whether or not there are selected messages.
