Description
Mouse wheel scroll with a hardware mouse in the message view doesn't work (when you click on a message in the inbox, and it shows the message body to scroll through).
Expected behavior
mouse wheel scroll works in the message body
Actual behavior
I can click and drag as I would with a finger, but mouse wheel on a hardware mouse does nothing
Steps to reproduce
- Get a bluetooth mouse or usb mouse with usb-c (or usb-a to usb-c adapter) and plug it into your phone
- Launch K-9, go to inbox, open up any message that is longer than would fit onto the screen
- Attempt to scroll with mouse wheel
Environment
K-9 Mail version: 5.600 (f-droid)
Android version: 7.1.1
Account type (IMAP, POP3, WebDAV/Exchange): IMAP

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the message view on Android 7.1.1 with a hardware mouse, using an email longer than the screen. Trace the message-view scrolling entry point and verify that mouse-wheel input scrolls the message body; test both the reported IMAP scenario and touch scrolling to avoid regressions.
