If it's a different size on different systems that share a sequences file, then we're back to the risk of silently losing sequences. Sure, 64-bit ints still have that risk. But I don't have a Cray :-] As far as 27 or 59 sequences not being enough, I really don't think it is. Waaaay back when I started using sequences, I saw that and realized that I wasn't going to get very far with them. I have folders with thousands of messages and would have liked to use sequences to keep track of related messages. But I've had to do that other ways.
