Mutt gives you the option of saving local copy of mail when you send. If all the mail in your sent mail folder displays as "From: David H. Askew", you'll never be able to tell which is which (= I've never actually tried to set that behaviour differently, try looking at the mutt manual http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/ AFAIK, everything that is configurable is included in there.
