Rich,

I'm using Alpine 2.00, so the menu options may be different than they 
are in the Pine 4.64 you're using. In Alpine, there's a section under 
Rules -> Roles called CURRENT MESSAGE CONDITIONS BEGIN HERE. In that 
section, you can set the To: address that triggers a role change.

The change ends up reflected in the "patterns-roles" directive in 
.pinerc.
