Fix your "alternates" setting, so to that Mutt recognizes that the
messages are from you.

Mutt doesn't know that you're filtering your mail. So you'd need some
way to tell it how to list your mail in particular folders.
Folder-hooks are good for this.
Example:
folder-hook . 'set \
sort=threads \
index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %e} %-15.15n (%4l) %s"'
This sets the default sort-order to threads, and simply shows the
sender's name in the index listing (%-15.15n).
folder-hook ! 'set \
index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %e} %-15.15L (%4l) %s"'
For my main spool, I leave sorting set to threads, and change the index
format to contain (%-15.15L), so that list-names will be shown. I don't
sort all lists into folders, only the high-traffic lists.
folder-hook < 'set \
sort=date-sent \
index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %e} %-15.15t (%4l) %s"'
For my 'sent' folder, I want messages sorted by date, and the recipient
(%-15.15t) shown in the index. Note that this would fix your first
problem, as well, but it is still a good idea to fix your "alternates",
so that your address won't show up in group-replies and followup-to's.
folder-hook > 'set \
sort=date-sent'
For my 'received' folder, I like to sort by date. Index format remains
the same.
Hope this helps,
