The byte count will change, rather.

Oh, speaking of this, the other thing that you'll notice is that tdx-util
uses the new method of building overview for headers that contain
non-printing characters, namely by unfolding the line and then replacing
all non-printing characters with spaces.  This is different than what innd
does; it doesn't unfold first, and therefore adds two spaces for the \r\n
of folded headers.
