No, it doesn't.  In fact it's probably better that way because SA
won't waste time updating the bayes database with the mis-classified
stuff that will have to be backed out later.

That definitely doesn't make any difference *IF* you disabled
auto-learning in the previous step.  It shouldn't make any difference
even if autolearning was on, because sa-learn will discard the tokens
from the first pass on each message before re-learning, but it'll be
somewhat faster if that's not necessary.
