It's highly unlikely to be anything to do with mutt. Mutt doesn't have
anything to do with the mouse: it doesn't understand it in the
slightest.

What's probably causing the effect is the terminal emulator you're
using, interacting with your X server.

Since gvim does it as well, I'd be inclined to blame your X server.
Which X server are you using? Which version of x.org are you using (are
you up to date)?
