That has nothing to do with what he was asking about. Those are obviously malformed addresses that Mutt shows as being sent by the user. This is really a bug in the way Mutt handles malformed addresses. If there is a parse error, Mutt will return NULL for the list of addresses. Normally this would not be a problem, but because some old mail clients that people used to use did not write a From: line in the mbox for saved outgoing messages, Mutt will assume that the message from you if there is no From: line. Since Mutt represents no addresses and bad addresses the same way internally, it can't tell the difference.
