I installed lesspipe as recommended on the post installation tips and it works fine unless I try to look at a rar file which gives me loads of garbage output along with the filenames.
The garbage seems to be related to the content of the files in the archive.
test.rarcontains one file called "file" which simple contains the text "this is a file".
less test.rar
gives
==> append : to filename to view the RAR archive data, v1d, os: Unix source
Rar!

%\7
test.rar (END)
test2.rar contains an image file "yellow_eyes.png"
less test2.rar

less doesn't work on archives, nor would less help you with a *.png file, even if it were extracted from the archive.
Have a peek at
man less
and have a look here about rar files -
Don't break the silence unless you can improve upon it.

Thanks for trying to help lamegatop but i have installed lesspipe which allows me to peek inside archives.
It is in the arch repositories if you want to try it.
