To quote Kyle from a previous post about this very subject not too long ago:

 From the manual:

    wait_key
        Type: boolean
        Default: yes

        Controls whether Mutt will ask you to press a key after
        shell-escape, pipe-message, pipe-entry, print-message, and
        print-entry commands.

        It is also used when viewing attachments with "auto_view",
        provided that the correspondin gmailcap entry has a
        needsterminal flag, and the external program is interactive.

        When set, Mutt will always ask for a key. When unset, mutt
        will wait for a key only if the external command returned a
        non-zero status.
