is your mailbox itself world-readable? What is your umask?
in general, i'd expect notmuch to follow umask like any other unix
tool. if we wanted it to be more restrictive, maybe that's a separate
use case.
See also discussion at id:20180209041058.4037-1-dkg@fifthhorseman.net
around whether "notmuch insert" and other tools should produce
world-readable files by default.
curious to hear what you think is the right choice here.
