Actually, without exporting TERM, I saw emacs' term to show it to be
"eterm-color":
the need to export it was to get it to be "xterm" instead.

I set TERM=xterm ***in my /home/<user>/.bashrc***
(**not** on the command-line prior to invoking emacs).
My only guess is that When "M-x term" starts up a shell (/bin/bash for me)
it would 'load' the .bashrc file from my home directory. Maybe that way
you'd wouldn't get "eterm-color" within M-x term. Worth a shot ?

No, I don't use mutt, so I can't comment on that :) .

Yes, I misunderstood that.
