In Alpine (http://www.washington.edu/alpine/), the successor to Pine, the 
default has indeed been changed so that this is now turned on by default. 
The reason you might not want to have this turned on is that some IMAP 
servers do not preserve the order of the messages being saved when it is 
done as an aggregate operation.
