            Bug ID: 4706
           Summary: Attachments have wrong permissions
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Other
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: mail at homerow.info

After upgrading claws-mail the permissions of the saved attachments are too
strict:

> -rw------- 1 foo tlk 106 2023-10-04 14:53 bar

This is a deliberate change according to the NEWS:

> * chmod 0600 is set on log files, history files, saved parts, etc.

In a workgroup/corporate/multi user setting this is a very inconvenient choice
since one has to chmod each saved attachment, so other users could read and
edit those files. I have set the default umask to 0020 and there is no way in
claws-mail to configure that attachments will be saved with more deliberate
permissions.

I vote for a way to configure the default permissions (or alternatively use the
global umask setting).
