I was perfectly happy with the previous version... 

There may be some benefits in newest that just appeared on
my screen that I have yet to work out. What is most evident
immediately/at the moment, however, is what, for me, is an 
obvious and annoying *disadvantage.*

---------------------------------------------------------------
The contents of various folder(s) of sent mail are now/suddenly 
all listed by _my name_, rather than by name of _person to whom_
sent. Thus, to find almost any such message for whatever reasons
I now have to open and search through several: the index alone 
will no longer tell me what I need to know: the effort is extra,
and annoying!

Was there supposed to be some advantage to this new mode that
I don't (yet) appreciate?

Is there any way to get the old format of listing by addressee back?
(and, if so, can someone explain it in very simple clear terms...)

still the same old version of

Elaine,
Pine needs to know your email address in order to distinguish mail from
you and mail to you. Something has presumably changed with your default
address (or Pine's knowledge of it).
In the new version of Pine there is a feature that allows you to specify
one or more versions of your address so that it will be better at
deciding something is from you. The feature is
alt-addresses
in the Config Screen (Go to Mail Manu (M), then Setup (S) then Config
(C), and scan for alt-addresses.
