Yes. I did not know about this mechanism before, but 'env|grep -i less' |
| 16 |
showed the LESS and LESSOPEN environment variable, so I learnt about the |
| 17 |
lesspipe command. lesspipe -h gives a little info, LESSIGNORE is shown |
| 18 |
there. |

There is no difference, but it's more convenient to export the variable as |
| 32 |
you do not have to set it every time then. |

445-r1, but I just downgraded to 444, and it behaves the same. I have the |
| 38 |
pcre and unicode USE flags set, but don't assume they make any |
| 39 |
difference. Weird, no idea why it it not working for you. |
