Again: please bottom post, not top post.
Can you show us:
the exact text of the From: header in the message
the exact text of your mutt alias
(preferably with the <> syntax - it _is_ important)
the exact text mutt displays in the index
Not examples, but actual real values from your setup and email.
Happy for them to be based on a chosen message or person (eg me or
Chris) for privacy reasons but they should be real cut/paste from
your real email and mutt setup.
Cheers,

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that
cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong
goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
