Sorry; the answer to your question is that it's controlled by index
display, specifically, the variable $index_format. The default
$index_format is:
%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%?l?%4l&%4c?) %s
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^- Subject
| | | | | `- size of message, in lines or bytes
| | | | `- THIS IS THE ONE TO CHANGE
| | `--+- The date and time of the message
| `- message status flags
`- current message number
The one you want to change (%-15.15L, or more simply, %L) means,
according to the documentation:
If an address in the To or CC header field matches an address
defined by the users "subscribe" command, this displays "To
<list-name>", otherwise the same as %F
%F means:
author name, or recipient name if the message is from you
What it doesn't mention is that if it shows the recipient name, it
shows it in the form "To <recipient>".
In other words, you haven't specified in your muttrc that
[email protected] is a list you're subscribed to, and so it's
falling back on %F for all of those messages. If you want it to ALWAYS
show the author of the message, replace "%-15.15L" with "%-15.15a" in
your $index_format, which is the address of the author of the message.
