% default permission setting  of 0644 for attachment saves?  Or even a
% macro that would issue the chmod?

I don't use the attachment menu but instead have a little script called
wmunpack (attached) which wraps munpack with a umask and a cd to the
proper directory based on command-line flags (word docs go into a
doc dir).

The problem with macro-ing a chmod is figuring out the filename to chmod
to put into your macro; it's wasteful, but as an alternative you might
be able to add "<shell-escape>chmod a+r ~/public_html/*" to your macro
and just add read perms to everything whenever you save to the dir.
Hmmm...  No, that probably won't work unless you also tack in an <enter>
and accept whatever filename is provided, 'cuz otherwise you'll have junk
thrown on the line that you don't really want.
