Description:   Opened: 2007-05-22 11:41 0000 
Attempting to view the a HTML file or other types of files with less(1)
triggers strange behavior by default, in the case of a HTML file, an attempt to
render the HTML. Other file types produce other bizarre results, making less(1)
unusable as a pager.

This problem can be traced to the default environment setting the LESSOPEN
environment variable, which causes less(1) to use lesspipe.sh to preprocess any
files it is used to view. A patch for baselayout is attached which fixes this
problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to view a file with a certain extension or file type with less(1).

Actual Results:  
less(1) displays something that is not the file given in its command line
arguments.

Expected Results:  
less(1) should display the file given in its command line arguments.
