Unfortunately I couldn't test this: I exported LINES=0 in the shell and then started Emacs, but in Eshell `echo $LINES' returned 42; same when I exported LINES=0 within Eshell and also when I used setenv, both before and after starting Eshell. I searched the Eshell manual but found nothing about setting environment variables. I'm still interested to know why I encounter the bug only in Eshell and only with mailx, not with less itself; do you have any idea? > To disable the pager in mailx set crt to a big value.
