Maybe you'll like
"%4C %Z %{%b%d} %-15.15n(%4l) %s"
instead. I have mail sorted into folders based on the list it came
from. I use this format so I see my own name rather than the list
name when I post a message to the list. In the Sent folder, however,
seeing the From name is pointless (duh, I sent it :-)) so I use a
folder-hook to change it.
It also makes a difference when you use the 'subscribe' command in
your .muttrc to identify lists you are subscribed to. If you don't
have filters, then mutt's default of showing the list in the "from"
field would be helpful.

From the manpage :
index_format
Type: string
Default: "%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s"
This variable allows you to customize the message
index display to your personal taste.
"Format strings" are similar to the strings used in
the "C" function printf to format output (see the
man page for more detail). The following sequences
are defined in Mutt:
%a address of the author
%b filename of the original message folder
(think mailBox)
%B the list to which the letter was sent, or
else the folder name (%b).
%c number of characters (bytes) in the message
%C current message number
%d date and time of the message in the format
specified by "date_format" converted to
sender's time zone
%D date and time of the message in the format
specified by "date_format" converted to the
local time zone
%e current message number in thread
%E number of messages in current thread
%f entire From: line (address + real name)
%F author name, or recipient name if the mes
sage is from you
%i message-id of the current message
%l number of lines in the message
%L list-from function
%m total number of message in the mailbox
%M number of hidden messages if the thread is
collapsed.
%N message score
%n author's real name (or address if missing)
%O (_O_riginal save folder) Where mutt would
formerly have stashed the message: list name
or recipient name if no list
%s subject of the message
%S status of the message (N/D/d/!/r/*)
%t `to:' field (recipients)
%T the appropriate character from the $to_chars
string
%u user (login) name of the author
%v first name of the author, or the recipient
if the message is from you
%y `x-label:' field, if present
%Y `x-label' field, if present, and (1) not at
part of a thread tree, (2) at the top of a
thread, or (3) `x-label' is different from
preceding message's `x-label'.
%Z message status flags
%{fmt} the date and time of the message is con
verted to sender's time zone, and "fmt" is
expanded by the library function "strftime";
a leading bang disables locales
%[fmt] the date and time of the message is con
verted to the local time zone, and "fmt" is
expanded by the library function "strftime";
a leading bang disables locales
%(fmt) the local date and time when the message was
received. "fmt" is expanded by the library
function "strftime"; a leading bang disables
locales
%<fmt> the current local time. "fmt" is expanded by
the library function "strftime"; a leading
bang disables locales.
%>X right justify the rest of the string and pad
with character "X"
%|X pad to the end of the line with character
"X"
