Heh! I feel the same way, at least for mailing lists.
Anyway, the way to get what you want is to change the $index_format.
For most mailing lists, I use the following:
"%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15n (%4c) %?M?[%M]> &?%s"
| | | | | | `- Subject
| | | | | `------------ for folding threads
| | | | `----------------- message size
| | | `---------------------- THIS is your answer
| | `-------------------------------- date
| `---------------------------------------- status flags
`------------------------------------------- count
The default $index_format uses %-15.15L instead of %-15.15n. The
difference is described in the muttrc man page:
%L 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.
Given that, you'd think that %-15.15F would be good, right? Well, I
use that *most* of the time for non-mailing list folders:
%F author name, or recipient name if the message is from you
But for mailing lists... well, since I keep them all in separate
folders, I don't need "recipient name", I'm smart enough to know what
folder I'm looking at (plus, it's listed in the status bar if I ever
forget ;). So, for mailing lists I use %-15.15n:
%n author's real name (or address if missing)
That way messages from me to mailing lists show up as FROM ME.
I keep my mailing lists in subfolders of my "Subscribed" folder, so I
switch between the two formats (%F and %n) using folder-hooks, like
so:
folder-hook . \
'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15F (%4c) %?M?[%M]> &?%s"'
folder-hook "Subscribed" \
'set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15n (%4c) %?M?[%M]> &?%s"'
Hope that helps,
~Kyle
