This is similar (probably related) to the thread "1.0.2 folder creation bug"
that was on the mailing list a couple months ago. The problem still exists
in 1.0.3 under Solaris.
If .mh_profile contains the line
Folder-protect: 700
then you get the following:
% folder +zzz
Create folder "/cis/homes/sbeck/Mail/zzz"? y
zzz+ is unreadable
% ls -ld zzz
d-w-rwxr-- 2 sbeck apps 512 Mar 15 16:07 zzz
If you remove the Folder-protect line, the directory is created
properly.
I've seen this occur with perl too (on Solaris), and it's easily fixed
by expressing the mode as 4 digits rather than 3. Sure enough, changing
the line to:
Folder-protect: 0700
and it worked fine, but it might be nice to document this somewhere.
