use	Folder-Protect: 700	in your .mh_profile to give your folders
permissions such that only you can examine the files within them.

use	Msg-Protect: 600	to give your files the same type of
protection.

i bet these will only work on folders and messages created/used after you add
these lines, so you may want to run chmod on the files/folders, to set their
permissions on the spot.  use the corresponding octal number from the two
above: 700 for folders, 600 for files.
