I use Pine regularly and have my options set so that the mailbox is
reverse sorted at startup. The sequence numbers displayed start with
the most recent message in the mailbox. If I were to blindly follow
instructions for making a URL from these sequence numbers the wrong
message would come up consistantly.

Clients do not consistantly show IMAP sequence numbers to users.
