i meant something else.  let's say the original poster ifiles messages
automatically initiated by some cron-job.  he notices misfiles, marks
them and waits for another automatism to do that "relearning".
_that's_ what has to be lock protected.  otherwise you'd have more
than one instances of "relearners" editing the same messages.

and ifile has its own database locking built-in.
