Hi Brian, I must be missing the point of --action=cat. Its name seems to imply non-interactive stdout, but it will still run X-based viewers and needsterminal viewers. The latter seems especially strange since the user probably doesn't want an interactive curses viewer if they used --action=cat to avoid the pager. I don't mind writing the patch to use --action=filter. I just can't think of a scenario where --action=cat is interesting in that case. How did you feel I was trying to shoe-horn extra functionality?
