I think I've solved it.  I listed the contents of the debian less package,
and there is a file /usr/lib/mime/pacages/less which contains the
following:

text/plain; less '%s'; needsterminal; priority=8
text/*; less '%s'; needsterminal; priority=2
*/*; less '%s'; needsterminal; priority=0

Don't know for sure, but perhaps you can define stuff in here that
determins less's behaviour on various mime types.  Just a thought.
