This would be a "fresh" message as far as CRM goes - it's never seen it before. But from what I've read and recall from prior discussions, CRM is most effective when trained using TOE. So if it already correctly classifies a new message, I want to make sure I don't try to retrain using it. It was simple enough to add this check to my automated script to prevent this. But things get convoluted and hard to maintain when so many checks take place in so many different places!
