I hadn't seen this posted anywhere (and I didn't see it here on MacOSXHints). From Macintouch's Mail.app report of December 22, 2004, comes this tidbit:
Scroll Wheel

It's true that page-at-a-time scrolling with pgup and pgdown affects only the message pane, not the list pane. However, you can pgup and pgdown in the list pane by using the ctrl key, and this does not require you to change focus to the list pane.
Thanks Jason!
[robg adds: This has bugged me for a long time. If you have the list view panel active, the up and down arrow keys will scroll a message at a time, but page-up and page-down will scroll the currently active message by a page. I had even checked Mail's help for a solution, as it has a keyboard shortcuts section. The control-page-up and -page-down shortcuts are, of course, not listed! There are some other nice tidbits in Macintouch's Mail report, which now spans nine parts over the last six or so months...]
