Arguably, the mode for the maildirsize file should match the mode for
the mail files themselves.  File a bug, because it's hard-coded to 0600.

If you're happy building from source, the quick hack is to edit
src/transports/tf_maildir.c -- search for O_CREAT, the first one exists
with O_EXCL and handles creating the temporary file which is renamed
into place.  The mode is given as octal 0600 there, change it to 0640.
