yep, that's definitely the cause of it, but looking through the git
history, it seems to have no clear justification.
do other LDA programs behave this way? is there a reason to not 0666 or
0644 ? seems like the umask is where people should be making these
choices, and mail being delivered doesn't necessarily need this kind of
lockdown.
we're running into this when looking at a mailing list archiver -- i
want messages to be delivered via "notmuch insert" as the mailbox owner.
but the mailbox viewer is going to be a different user, and they need
read-only access to the archive. instead, they're completely locked
out.
am i missing something?
