I was surprised to find out that the permission bits on ~/Mailboxes/Active.mbox /mbox and mbox~ are set to everyone readable by default. Has this "feature" been discussed before? I know you can manually set the file protection mask bits in Preferences, but isn't it logical not to let anyone go through your mail? --wilson
