[Spambayes] train on error - to exhaustion?

Training on error means "classify messages from the training corpus in
random order; if the classifier errs or is uncertain, submit that
message (once?) for training."  Has anyone tried either of:

1) when the classifier errs or is uncertain, train on that message
until the classifier gets it right,

or

2) train once on each error, but then repeat the whole training process
until all messages are classified correctly?

I'd think the latter might be beneficial, but haven't tried it yet
myself.
