[comp.unix.questions] Mailx and paging

pjh@mccc.UUCP (Pete Holsberg) (07/16/89)

I have PAGER set to less as an environmental variable but neither mailx
nor mush seem to see it.  .mailrc has nothing in it about pagers and
there's no .mushrc (as yet).  What have I omitted???

Try putting this line in your $HOME/.mailrc:

set crt=24
