Many thanks David; just what I needed.

For the record:


(defun -notmuch-authors-or-to (format-string result)
  (let* ((headers (plist-get result :headers))
         (match (plist-get result :match))
         (to (plist-get headers :To))
         (author (notmuch-tree-clean-address (plist-get headers :From)))
	 (len (length (format format-string "")))
	 (face (if match
		   'notmuch-tree-match-author-face
		 'notmuch-tree-no-match-author-face)))
    (if (string= author "Jon Hurst")
        (setq author (concat "To:" (notmuch-tree-clean-address to))))
    (when (> (length author) len)
      (setq author (substring author 0 len)))
    (propertize (format format-string author) 'face face)))


(setq notmuch-tree-result-format
   '(("date" . "%12s  ")
     (-notmuch-authors-or-to . "%-25s")
     ((("tree" . "%s")
       ("subject" . "%s"))
      . " %-54s ")
     ("tags" . "(%s)")))
