Unfortunately, this command doesn't work for me.
I ask around and most of my coworkers have LESS="-R". Only the coworker that doesn't really use his Mac and has no customizations does not have $LESS defined.
Therefore, I think it is likely some third party component that sets $LESS.
@Jason: Do you have homebrew, iTerm2, and/or oh-my-zsh installed?
