+I don't think so with the current code. I didn't go back and stare at\r
+the indexing code, but I believe it stops when it recognizes the\r
+message-id. Maybe you could rename and change the message-id. But then\r
+you'd lose the tags; you'd also have to worry about duplicate files for\r
+the same message.\r
