Learning/relearning twice; effect on database

Hi all

Just started using ifile to classify mail into my numerous folders and
I'm truly impressed by the success with which it does it.  I have a
couple of questions about the effect of classifying a message twice.

I'm using adapted versions of the scripts linked from the ifile home
page for use with procmail (ifile.learn.message, etc).

Questions are:

- What happens if I categorise the same mailbox as category C twice?
  Does ifile notice that it's seen the messages before?  If not, what
  effect will this have on matching in future?

- (related)  What happens if I 'relearn' a message from one category to
  another twice - i.e., delete a message twice from one category and
  learn it twice into another?

I have written various scripts which analyse the differences between
what ifile said and what I want, and recategorises appropriately.  Just
want to know whether or not I have to keep a track of which messages I
recategorise in this way.

Thanks for your help,

cheers, jack
