reading documentation in .gz format?

in installed sendmail from source and it put a bunch of .gz files on my
machine under /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.12.5/.  my question is this:  how do
i read the .gz files outside of using something like this:

  gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.12.5/README.cf.gz | less

there's gotta be an easier way....
did i miss something?
