Write this on a sticky note and attach it to your monitor -- 'whenever
I use double-quotes, I'm in Python mode; curse DC for ever using
hypens in their variable names' (slight joke). Python is evaluating
sequence-item as sequence minus item.

Try either:

<dtml-in emailid>
  <dtml-let item=sequence-item>
    <dtml-var item>
    <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('myvar',item)">
  </dtml-let>
</dtml-in>

or

<dtml-in emailid>
  <dtml-var sequence-item>
  <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('myvar',_['sequence-item'])">
</dtml-call>
