When you leave a long email and come back again it should persist and return the position you were scrolled down to.

Description

Email view should remember the scrolled position between instantiations.

This is a tiny usability thing but I think would make a big difference. When I had to use an Apple device I noticed their mail client does this and it saves a lot of time when switching around.

Thanks for the wonderful work on k9 - amazing application!
