How is that?  We're talking about different messages that have 
the same message ID.

It's true that the message IDs of learned messages are in the 
Bayes DB, so it should be possible to use that to catch the 
duplicates.  I agree with Jon that it's probably not worth the 
trouble, though.  I have seen spammers occasionally reuse 
message IDs, but it doesn't really give them much benefit, so 
it's not widespread.
