Yeah, try this:

set index_format="%4C %Z %[%b %d] %-15.15F (%4l) %s"
                                         ^
the default index_format is this:
                 "%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s"
                                         ^
A couple of things, using the [ ] for the date converts the time the
message was sent to your local time, which is nice (IMHO), and the L,
changed to the F makes it show who the mail was sent to, if it was
sent by you:

%F author name, or recipient name if the message is from you

hope this helps,
