I do not understand, what you mean  :-)

I have some programs which create ~/.<program> directories with
'chmod 700'.

Where is the problem ?  Nobody elsev as the owner can access it.

Even my fetchmail wraper tdfetchmail refuse to work, if the users
directory ~/.tdfetchmail has not 0700 and the files 0600.

The $USER will get immediatly an error message.
