By default mutt uses its own internal pager. In my .muttrc I put set pager=less By doing this I use less as my pager instead. I tried a few commands to display the current setting in mutt, but none of them worked, so other than checking your config file and viewing a message to see which pager is run, I don't know how to find out which pager is being used.
