The order of the sequence reflects the order of the messages
(i.e., the sequence will always be in ascending numerical
order... at least I'm pretty sure that's the case).
The order of the messages depends on how the USER arranged them.
The user might have the messages arranged in date order, sender
order, or anything else. See "man sortm".
So, while there is no "architectural" significance, there may be
a significance to the USER.

It is possible to advance through a sequence.
show next:seqname
See "man nmh".
