This is only with the default format string.  See this snippet from my
.muttrc (and the earlier post in this thread with it) :

# Folder hooks :

# default action (index_format is default, except it displays "From" instead)
folder-hook . set sort=date ; set index_format="%4C %Z%{%b%d} %-15.15F(%4l) %s"

# sorting for inbox
folder-hook "!" set sort=date-received

# display To, not From, in Sent folder
#folder-hook Sent set index_format="%4C %Z%{%b%d} %-15.15F(%4l) %s"

# sorting for lists 
# display the author's real name, not the list (or my name!) in index view
folder-hook lists.* set sort=threads ; set sort_aux=date ;  \
	set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b%d} %-15.15n(%4l,%3M) %s%| "

"g" is group-reply (aka "Reply To All"), "G" is "download POP
messages"
