You can change the way those lines in the index are formatted by setting your 'index_format' differently for your sent folder with a folder-hook. See the manual. But what makes you think that those To's are spoiling your search? / does not search the text of the display--it searches attributes of the messages. By default, mutt expands the / command according to the 'simple_search' configuration variable to search the "From" and "Subject" fields. If you want to search for a particular recipient, then specify ~t in the search pattern, like this: Search for: ~t stas That's in the mutt manual, too, under "Patterns". HTH, Gary
