You need to change your mutt configuration slightly. Mutt decides what
fields to display with the index_format[1] variable.
You'll want to change the author display from %v (first name of the
author, or the recipient if the message is from you) to %t (`to:' field
(recipients))
Mutt will decide whether the email is from you or not based on the
value of alternates[2] variable.
Cheers,
