I support this wish!!!!!!!!!

Why not

    set umask=default
    set umask=ignore
    set umask=XXX

where "default" is the original behaviour of mutt, ignore use the system
defaults and XXX is a manual set umask.

The  later  can  be  important,  if  you  access  a  maildir  where  the
directories are partialy shared...
