Description

Hi,

I frequently get reports mailed to me by my servers' scheduled tasks. These are just outputs, and are often thousands of lines of text/plain text.

Usually, I just want to see whether the task ended successfully or in an exception. Because the emails are very long sometimes, it takes quite some effort to scroll all the way to the bottom.

It would help if there was a button to scroll to the bottom (and if that is added, then a button to go back to the top would be a logical additional button). An alternative would be a scroll bar whose handle one can drag to the bottom.

With kind regards,
Sven Berkvens-Matthijsse

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the Android screen that displays long plain-text task-report emails and inspect its existing scrolling behavior. Done means users can reach both the top and bottom without manually traversing thousands of lines.
