This doesn't work for me, and I tried scrolling up and down on 5, 8, and 10 conversations before turning it back to portrait mode. When lying down, I just turn the iPhone on its head: it will only rotate to portrait mode when it's right-side-up.

Double tap on the iphone home button. A multi-task control bar will appear at the bottom of the screen. The first control on the left will able/ disable the "landscape view lock" function.
