That should be the default of :set hls (usually in ~/.vimrc),
as I assume Mutt "inlines" vim.

Search for "flags to vim as editor", :set hlsearch or :set hls.
You can add your own :set nohlsearch or :set nohls at the end
of the file to try to deactivate the effect. This should also

Maybe those will be helpful:
