Hi Chris,

Is there a mutt variable to set default folder (directory and file)
permissions when saving/copying messages?

My umask is 022 so files and directories created outside of mutt
are mostly readable by any user (which is what I want).  However mail
folders created by mutt are only readable by me - how can I change this?

I've searched through the documentation for words like 'permission'
and 'chmod' but can't find anything relevant.

Mutt currently doesn't have a way to change the umask (I guess nobody has asked for this before :-). It is hardcoded to 077 when Mutt initializes. If you can recompile, the appropriate line t change is main.c line 569, at least for unix mbox format.
