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.
