How do I get ifile to tell me "why"?

I've been using ifile for just a few days and have been quite impressed with how well it's working. (I also use SpamAssassin and am involved with the Python-based spambayes project.) For the most part, ifile categorizes things well even though I have so far fed it very few messages (114 non-spam and 248 spam messages in 13 categories, "spam", "virus" and 13 others). The results are so good in fact, that except for spam (which I file somewhat differently), I've only been training ifile with messages it miscategorizes. When it does miscategorize a message, it is frequently a doozie. For example, a message about Triumph cars just turned up in my Python (programming language, not snakes) folder. Accordingly, I wonder if there is some way to coax ifile into telling me what words were most important to it in making its decision. I know about the -q flag. That just tells me how well the message relates to my various categories, not how it arrived at the result it got.
