Hi,
I think it unwise to have "-e" in makehistory with RFC 3977:
-e
Compute Bytes headers which is used for overview data. This option is valid
only if -O flag is specified and overview.fmt includes Bytes:.
People will forget to use it and it will break the compliance of
their news server. What could we do? Change "-e" to *not* compute :bytes?
Remove "-e"?
Note that overview rebuilding will be even more slower!
Another question: Why does inn remove the Bytes: header of every article?
Is it harmful?
