OK, so what am I supposed to run in this shell interpreter ?

I can understand that I can't start mutt or any other appli that needs
all term environment in M-x shell, but the feature I'm asking is not
specific to term emulation, it's just a goodies to make life easier
when reading the _text_ output of any commands I start from this shell
interpreter.

One other thing: why 'M-x term' proposes the 'page-at-a-time' output
feature whereas it supports the " | less" thing ? maybe because it's
just convenient enough to make it the default of all commands...
