People at our site have noticed some file protection problems relating
to mail and rmail:

(1) The file ~/.newmail that is created by movemail when reading in a
    mail file is readable by *everybody*.  

(2) ~/RMAIL and files created with rmail-output-to-rmail-file are
    created with the owner's default umask; around here, that
    means they're readable by group as well as by the owner.

(3) The file ~/#%*mail*# in which mail messages being composed are
    autosaved is also created with the default umask.

We're concerned about potential violations of e-mail privacy.  It
seems like the default should be for all mail files to be created so
that they are readable only by the owner.  Are there any patches
available/planned for these problems?

Our configuration:  Sparcstation 1+, SunOS 4.1.1, Emacs 18.55.
