The fileinto does not alter the messages flags at all.  You *can* do 
this with the imapflags extension, but by default a fileinto essentially 
behaves as if the message was delivered directly.  This is probably 
another client that is changing the flags.

       ^^^^^^^

This discard is completely unnecessary.  The fileinto cancels the 
implicit keep.  The discard is doing nothing.
