Interesting.

I can't be the only person who's found this to be a limitation, right? 
It would be very useful to sort by actual sender, not just to group all 
the michael@'s together, then all the paul@'s, etc.

I'm just a user looking for a workaround, not a protocol architect, but 
it looks like the RFC also specifies that SORT is extensible, so maybe 
the most correct, if not the easiest, solution would be to define a new 
sort key such as DOMAIN.
