[comp.mail.elm] Elm and file permissions

Hello netters!

I have run into an need to save letters (mailing lists, mostly) to 
a semi-public directory so that others here can read them.  The 
problem is that Elm will save files as -rw-------.  Now, that's quite 
nice for my private letters, but I keep forgetting to open the files 
to the rest of the world.  Is there a switch that lets me set the 
permissions of my files?  My mail directories are locked tight anyway, 
so the permissions of individual files are of no real consequence.

Unfortunately, I do not have net access right now, so all replies (I 
hope there are at lease a *few* :-) should be sent to either of the 
addresses below.  Internet is vastly preferred, but I get mail from 
both.  With any luck, I'll be back on the net soon, but we're getting 
a new campus news server and it isn't up yet...

Thanks in advance for everyone's help!
