Sure, %t is "To:" header's contents. However if you set up your
$alternates correctly, you should only need to use the %F or the default
%L format token, since Mutt should automatically notice when a message
is from you and display the recipient instead. So if you use either %F
or %L and have $alternates correct, you don't need to have a specific
setting for your sent-mail folder.
BTW, the preferred name $index_format, not $hdr_format anymore. The
latter works for now but may not work in the future. Although since
you don't mention your Mutt version, maybe you're using an old version
that hasn't got $index_format yet.
I hope this helps,
Mikko
