That's because the sequence %L is given in that field which is,
according to the manual, a "list-from function". Set the index_format
variable to the same as the default (from the manual), but change %L
to %n, for the actual name.

In threaded mode, this may not be possible. One way could be to set
the subject of the sub-message to that of the main message, so that it
comes immediately after the main message. Or you could add a header
In-Reply-To or References, and include the message ID of the original
message in that header field.
But all this is probably impossible, because `formail -d' doesn't know
whether a message is an actual message from the list, or a sub-message
- because it just splits it wherever it finds two consective headers.
Simple solution - don't use threaded mode if you're using the digest,
because anyway the Message-IDs are lost, and so are `References' and
`In-Reply-To', so you won't get the neat trees which you normally see.
Another solution - subscribe to the actual list! ;-)
