<pre>Hi,
we set the less options to LESS=FRSXMK. Special less'es which don't support
those options are not something that is very common, so fixing this is
definitely not high priority. In general systems supports color-less output,
and extending this to systemctl shouldn't be too hard, it should be enough to
add --no-color option, defaulting to !on_tty(), and use this new variable to
determine whether color is enabled. We'd be happy to apply a patch, but at
least I'm not going to work on this.</pre>
