umask facility

[keld]

mutt always use 077 as umask. This may not be desirable. I would like a facility to either set another default, or use the default umask of the environment (I prefer the latter).

There are already patches for mutt for this, but I would like it to be included in the source tree.

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
