Oh, strangely enough ... it's because it's trying to call seq_setprev()
with no messages set.

So, I guess "-message" is the default.  And that suggests to me if you
don't give a message on the command line, it should default to 'cur'
like other nmh programs, unless people think it makes sense to fail
in that case.

(And I realize from reading the man page I never documented what
-file/-nofile means).
