+I'm tring to figure out how to use afew. It looks interesting, but\r
+gives me surprising results.\r
+\r
+I did `afew --learn spam -- tag:spam` and believe this tells afew that\r
+all the messages matching tag:spam should be classified as spam. But if\r
+that is right, why would `afew -c spam -- tag:spam` then show me a bunch\r
+of messages that are tagged spam by notmuch but not classified spam by\r
+afew?\r
+\r
+How do I train afew when I correct it's mistakes? Is that what `afew\r
+update` is for? What does "update the reference category" mean?\r
+\r
+Thanks much,\r
+James\r
