I suspect that you don't want to know.   It can be either.   The default
permissions for files stored by mhstore depend on more things than make
sense - including whether the thing being stored comes from a message
(in which case Msg-Protect is the more likely source, regardless of the
permissions of the message) or from a file, in which case 0600 is close
to hard coded (but it is nothing like that clear cut).

actually, your note above gave me the clue I needed. After I set Msg-protect,
subsequent messages came in at 0644. mhstore from those messages resulted
in files being stored 0644.  

That adequately solves my problem as my ~ is already 700.

Thanks for the help.
