Colours in directory display

Thu Jul 27 00:48:00 GMT 2000

Hello 
Environment: cygwin 1.1.2 on NT 4.0
When I make a directory listing using colours (ls --color -F), I get 
the expected display; the different entry types are in the colours as 
defined. Now I pipe the output to less and the colours disappear. 
Instead the corresponding escape sequence is written to the screen as 
pointed out in the following example:
Output of 'ls --color -F':
 Temp/
Output of 'ls --color -F | less':
 ESC[01;36mTempESC[0m/
Is this the expected behaviour?
Thanks for any hint.
