for identifying an important message a classifier will be implemented. and thanks for pointing out the issue regarding the delivery of the message, if it is delivered twice then the existing implementation of delivery is sufficient, but if we want to deliver it only once then for each person we need to maintain a database of important mails/threads to him(or vice-versa) and while sending check against that database. but this is going to raise some normalization issues which are to be taken care of by careful designing.

An interesting suggestion -- A couple of things to consider:

How do you identify "important" messages?

Will you deliver these messages twice -- first as important and then, later, as a part of the digest ?
