Excellent.

Thanks, I found delve, which at least showed that something was
being stored. It's in the xapian-tools package, and

   delve -V2 <database>

prints out the filesize value for each document.

It would be great if we could specify an alternative configuration
file for testing so that I can set up a small maildir and test
against that.

Correct, I hadn't read the documentation closely enough. After fixing
that and doing some testing I have this working now. Patch incoming.

Thanks,

James
