Right. So why not just let the default mode for files and directories
that gnus by default creates in $HOME, be 0600. If you can infer a
better mode from ~/.newsrc or whatever, fine. But while people can and
do complain about lack of privacy, I don't really expect anyone to
complain because their dribble file isn't public.

Hallvard
