It isn't; there is a semantic difference between 'q' in less and 'q'
in mutt's pager.  In less, 'q' exits the program (less, which usually
also has the effect of killing whatever program is being piped to
less, if there is one, due to receiving SIGPIPE).

In Mutt's pager, 'q' does not exit mutt.  It changes the mode (from
pager to index, or whatever).

This is not consistent, nor is it intuitive, nor is it in any way
logical...  Quit should quit, not change the mode.
