Hi there, as Tim said, someone had already noticed it but there had been
no deliberate change to the mode of files being created. We did have
some simplications, and a quick test confirms that while an "open(file)"
uses the default, an os.open() leads to "-rwxrwxr-x". I pushed the fix
as commit f536634 to my repositories 'next' branch, so the next release
will revert to the old behavior.

Thanks for reporting.

Fix default Maildir File permissions.
    
open() and os.open() lead to different file permissions by default, and
while we have not changed the os.open that had been used, some code
changes led to these permissions slipping through. Fix this by setting
the permissions explicitly to 0666 (minus the users umask).
