I apologize, I'm still derping even after consulting SO solutions: (1) ScrollView causes the App to crash (2) Adding scrollview crashes app (3) App crashing after adding a ScrollView and ImageView (4) Add a ScrollView in Linear and Relative Layout in one XML file --- etc.
Here's my situation:
[--Subject--------------]
[--Labels---------------]
[--Participants--------]
{ mail message #1 }
{ mail message #2 }
{ mail message #3 }
Current Behavior: When I scroll, the {mail messages} move up, but [Subject-Labels-Participants] stays put as a stationary header.
Desired Behavior: When I scroll, the [Subject-Labels-Participants] and {messages} move as one elegant unit, scrolling out of view just like magical unicorns dancing off into the sunset.

If you want
Desired Behavior: When I scroll, the [Subject-Labels-Participants] and {messages} move as one elegant unit, scrolling out of view just like magical unicorns dancing off into the sunset.
Then put everything into 1 RelativeView, within 1 ScrollView
e.g.
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
