I actually find it useful, but to each his own... There are two ways of doing it: one is on a program-by-program basis, and the other is modifying your terminal settings. In Vim, you can turn it off by manipulating the terminfo entries (the exact recipe can be obtained by typing ":help 'restorescreen'" in vim). I have no idea how to do this in mutt, but others may chime in. Alternatively, you can edit your terminfo database -- see "man terminfo" for details.
