I thought I was possibly confused, but today had it confirmed.
Something about the way InSight runs under 1.67 is really messing things
up.  Today I saw a message with a URL, I clicked on the URL and went to
the site, then clicked the 'back arrow' ... only to receive a message
that Arachne couldn't load the requested file.  I went to the Index of
Inbox, and the file wasn't there any more.

I wanted to respond to the message, so went to Norton with the [weak,
admittedly because of past experience] hope I might be able to unerase
it.   No such luck.  The deleted mail that still had a chance --
according to Norton -- of being unerased was all trashed with
Arachne.pck overwrites. i.e. the file still existed with just the 1st
character of name blanked out so it should be retrievable, but 99.9% of
said file had been contaminated and was worthless.  They'd been
downloaded yesterday anyway.  The 3 files that could be found, which had
been downloaded today, had the beginning of each file overwritten so I
couldn't retrieve them.

I frankly don't understand it.  I have cache set to RAM again, so cache
isn't overwritting files.  I had fast-deleted about a half-dozen
messages, I'd read & trash canned 2 or 3.  The message I left was not in
the trashcan, so it appears that it got "fast deleted."  Not good.

To the individual who thought the "natural herbal viagra" URL was too
long ... nope.  Arachne can handle URL lengths that extend past the
URL field lenght with the tool bar at the top of the page; the problem
is that so many asp & search URLs [particularly since some search
engines no longer will point directly to the URLs found, but instead use
internal addressing of some sort] are faaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
longer than that same field.
