This is a minor problem but I use "more" to read Email messages

The man page for more is actually linked to less even
though FreeBSD has /usr/bin/more and less. I even tried in the
.mh_profile to call more with -Oo/dev/null but if you hit a key,
the "logfile" prompt appears and any subsequent key strokes are
part of the new file name.
I think 'more' is just a link to 'less' anyway. The binaries are
the same according to dif and cmp.
(not what you were asking, but...)
arthur@fileserver> ls -li /usr/bin/{more,less}
44019002 -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 139128 Feb 25 16:40 /usr/bin/less
44019002 -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 139128 Feb 25 16:40 /usr/bin/more
They're hard linked.
The OP should check out the section on environment variables in the man
page. LESS and LESS_IS_MORE might help him.
