Altoholic shows a tooltip text when i look at a recipe in the AH if it can be learned or is already known by an other char on the same account.
Unfortunatly it does not behave like this on ricipes on a friend / 2. account whois database i got too.
Although when browsing that char manually i CAN find this recipe in my database
