movemail (emacs)/getmail (andrew messages) calls umask to explicitly
allow world-read access to the file it is creating. It should not be
installed setuid, and should have the setuid(getuid()) call before it
opens the output file, so there should never be a case where it needs
to create a world-readable file.
