These 'things' are called headers or more precisely mail headers.  To
limit those you desire to see, put entries such as the following in
your ~/.muttrc file:

# ignore everything
ignore *
# view the headers we want to see
unignore from: to: date: cc: subject: reply-to:

This would cause only the To:, From:, cc:, Date: Subject: and Reply-to:
headers to be diplayed.  While viewing the message you can toggle the
visibility of the ignored headers on and off by pressing the 'h' key.

There are some other headers you may want to see all the time, such as
priority:

This question would be more appropriate in the mutt-users list.
