You really need to start RTFMing, or at least G[rep]TFMing.

wait_key
Type: boolean
Default: set
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 autoview, provided that the
corresponding mailcap 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.
------------------------------------------------------------
Note the bit about the non-zero return status, as that's the operative
part. I don't know if fetchmail returns 0 normally or not, as I don't have
it. Urlview does.
If you only wanted this off for given macros, you could of course
unset/reset it in the macros themselves.
