It is a feature. Mutt gives you the option of saving local copy of
mail when you send. If all the mail in your sent mail folder displays
as "From: David H. Askew", you'll never be able to tell which is which
(=

I've never actually tried to set that behaviour differently, try
looking at the mutt manual
  http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/
AFAIK, everything that is configurable is included in there.
