What you have missed is that Mutt does not do the expansion of what's
between the %{...}. From the manual:
%{fmt} the date and time of the message is converted to sender's
time zone, and ``fmt'' is expanded by the system call
``strftime''; a leading bang disables locales
>From the strftime(3) man page:
%b Locale's abbreviated month name.
%d Day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].
Now it should all start to come clear. :)
