mark location and return

I wonder if others run into this as often as I do.
You are in folder X reading a msg.  To respond to
it you need to find a msg in folder Y. So you go
find the message in Y, then navigate back to your
prio position in X, to continue whatever you were doing
there.

This is clearly inefficient.  So maybe I am overlooking
a way of doing it better.  If not, I have what may be
a cool idea.  Location marks.  E.g., if I am reading
message 325 inf folder X, I can set a mark (similar
to Vim marks), and then at any time jump back to that
location.

I even have a transitional suggestion.  I like to 
jump (ctrl-j) to messages by number.  How about
allowing an extended syntax foldername:msg#, so
that I can prefix my msg number with a folder 
name.

fwiw,
Alan
