You can find the printf(3) format specifiers in man 3 printf; also in the
muttrc manual, man muttrc. Look for $index_format. Did you specifically
choose those format specifiers yourself? or did you use them from a
configuration posted on the internet?

The index_format string looks fine to me. I checked $index_format in the menu
and there are no options to toggle bold with it. The other options I found were
in the pager (which accepts the nroff sequences for bold and underline), and
configuring what that bold would look like using the color command.

Given that only some of them are bold, my guess is that there's a sequence of
characters in the entry that your terminal is interpreting as an escape sequence
for bold characters. But it's just a guess, and I'm not sure why it would happen
only looking in the Sent folder.
