Didn't you mean the file [your_mail_dir]\SELECTED.DAT?

Right, it would be more logical. Now, Insight just compares the folder
name with fixed string "TRASH" and only skips re-writing SELECTED.DAT
if equal (INSIGHT.C lines 676..677). It's easy to add there a check 
for "ARCHIVE" as well, but it would be a just quick and dirty fix.
A better fix could be to add a new command line switch for Insight,
telling it whether the folder should be saved or not.
