Less can parse some files, and show you more than just plain text.

It can show you the text inside a compressed archive (e.g. download
some text-file.xml.gz and it'll show you the xml file).

Boilerplate:  All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see
the messages posted to the mailing list.

I don't think it's pure coincidence that "officialdom" sounds the
same as "official dumb."
