    Sorry, there is no attachment, only the string "[ATTACHMENT

Sorry, my mistake.

    The escape sequences you see on screen are probably ANSI colors.

Yep.

    less(1) doesn't pass them to the terminal by default.

Yep.

     LESS='-R'

It works, and no question about binary characters any more either.  But
people shouldn't have to set envvars to see the help.  It seems like a
bug in perldoc, or something.  The whole "y" vs. "RET" thing seems
pretty bogus, too.

I suppose we could add -R to the LESS envvar in tlmgr before calling
pod2usage.  What a kludge, but if it suffices ...
