This might start becoming *very* annoying if you really want to scroll
upwards through a large *Messages* buffer. A slightly less intrusive
way to do something similar would be to add a hook that fires up every
time you switch _to_ the *Messages* buffer. This way every time you
switch away from the buffer and back to it, it scrolls down to the last
message, but if you move around while the buffer is active it doesn't
keep annoying you by jumping to the end of the buffer all the time.
