My suggestion is to read the mailing list archive before posting...
http://www.egroups.com/list/mutt-users/
(Naturally after saying this, the next time I have a question it will
have been in the archive! ;) ) -- I asked a very similar question
around the middle of Jan this year.
Anyway, the result was (after help from Byrial):
You can use the %-sequences from the index-format command in the
foldernames in fcc, save, and fcc-save hooks.
By using a '%u' the save-to name will be that of the author. This is
fine when saving doing a save, but falls over when doing a fcc. The
fcc will be saved under the authors name (i.e. me).
The better (?) way to do this is:
fcc-save-hook ~A +saved/%O
where %O is : (from the manual)
(_O_riginal save folder) Where mutt would formerly have stashed the
message: list name or recipient name if no list
(But %O is just the name - not the name@address. Time to RTFM...)
