} makehistory -O is leaving the bytes field empty.  Is this a
} speed-conscious thing or an oops?

Makehistory just creates overview data whose format is
specified with overview.fmt.  And Bytes header is not
appended by innd, although overview data created within
innd includes the info of Bytes header.  To have it into
overview data, it's quite easy.  Just call SMnext() with
RETR_ALL instead of RETR_HEAD, and get the size of
article.  But I'm doubtful whether we should include it,
even if the article does not.
