Well, unfortunately, there is currently no such setting in standard mutt. The Debian folks have put together a patch to provide that functionality, and you can apply that to your mutt. Here's the relevant Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=426317 Here's a similar patch: http://bereshit.synflood.at/svn/mutt-patches/trunk/patches/ak.umask.diff If it's important to you, you should probably submit a bug at http://bugs.mutt.org ~Kyle - -- It is a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed, and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty. -- Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Thank you for using encryption! iEYEARECAAYFAkgweYQACgkQBkIOoMqOI17xGQCfQ/CiSYGlSDoli826xYetdbuP Sj8AoNlavFqYsxi7l2pIYdAN2CqUfBOy =Umld -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
