I don't think you can and it would be tricky do do because you can 
search more than one group at the same time. It would be much better 
if MPro could take its columns from the group (or the first group) 
being searched. I guess most of the time we only seach one group at a 
time and we would be very unlikely to search an incoming and an 
outgoing group in one operation.

At the very least, the default layout for searching an outgoing group 
would be to include the To field and not the Sender field.

There's another problem that's very similar. You can specify the send 
settings for a group (from, signature, etc.) and these are used if you 
send a new message or reply directly to an incoming message. However 
if you reply to an embedded message (attached to another message) MPro 
reverts to its default settings. This is a particular problem if you 
use mailing lists where messages are wrapped to overcome AOL's DMARC 
policies.
