Well, mutt attempts to preserve the umask of any mailbox that it 
reads. The only reason I can think of that it would get that wrong is 
if the stat() call on the mailbox failed. Try running mutt in debug 
mode and see if you get a line that says "stat failed on xxxxx" (where 
xxxxx is the name of the mailbox you're reading).
