Odd. I've never had that issue. I don't recall exactly when I added
this (but subversion tells me it was Wed, 19 May 2004 at 20:07:56
-0400 :).

I used the released version of 1.5.11 for a while, and various other
1.5.x releases in that time. I'm now using 1.5.11 built from CVS on
20060406. It seems that it should work for you. There must be
something subtly different between my muttrc and yours, that's all I
can guess.
Just to refresh, my config for this looks like:
# archive mailboxes are opened read-only.
folder-hook . 'set read_only=no'
folder-hook 'archive/' 'set read_only=yes'
I'm using mbox folders in the archive, some directly under archive and
others in subdirectories of that. None of that should matter, but I
mention it just in case there's something about it which makes my
muttrc work while your's isn't working in this respect.
