The X-Label: header is regonized for this purpose. %y expands it in the index view, if you like, and ~y searches on it. It's supported in the 1.3 series, but you need a patch for 1.2. The basic support in 1.3 only provides recognition of the header, not editing. (You edit it using edit-message.) Another patch provides a binding (edit-label, 'y') to edit the header within mutt, with no external editor. I find this much easier to use, personally.
