Elm's internal pager does indeed do nothing about them. However,
the external pagers do whatever the external pager is configured
to do about it. Less will handle them just fine.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The version of less I'm using (123) outputs bold as ^[[1m (eg: shows Esc as
"^[" rather than just sending an Esc char). However, less does correctly
recognize something like "L^HL^HL^H" (where ^H is \010) as bold and "L^H_"
as underline.
People shouldn't "hard-code" terminal attributes in mail anyways :-)
