I have the same problem with my +sent-mail directory.  I
   displays my name and the not who the mail was sent to even
   though I'm using this index_format in .muttrc
   
   set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-18.18F (%4c) %s"
   
   I verified that my name is correct on the /etc/passwd file,
   since mutt checks there, and it was wrong and I fixed it and
   it's still not working.
   
   Is there anything else I can check that would cause this?
   
   thanks,
   jc
