Subject: Sent-mail folder message index preferences

We are using Pine 4.21 on UNIX 4.3.3 (IBM RS/6000)

When I am in my own sent-mail folder, the messages are displayed according
to whom I have sent these messages.  If I import someone else's sent-mail
folder, the messages are displayed according to who sent the messages.

My situation is that several users are accessing and using a mailbox in
the mbx format.  As they try to do research in the sent-mail folder, they
see the same behavior that I have described above (a user sees 
the recipient of his own sent-mail, but sees the sender of any mail sent
by other users)

How do I configure either the folder or the message index to always show
the recipient of a sent-message?

Thanks for any help.

If that's really what you want to do (for all folders, unfortunately,
unless you apply one of Eduardo's patches), check out the index-format
option in Main, Setup, Config.

But a more useful solution is probably to add the other user(s) addresses
to alt-addresses.  Read the help on both options to decide what's best for
your situation.
