Sure. 

In mutt display the X-FC-AutoForward-By header instead of From:
   ignore *
   unignore Date: X-FC-AutoForward-By: To: Cc: Subject:

Or use procmail+formail to shift the value of X-FC-AutoForward-By -> From:
   :0 hfw
   * ^X-FC-AutoForward-By:
   | formail -i From -R X-FC-AutoForward-By From
