FWIW, the nmh code actually always converts this value as an octal number,
even if it lacks a leading zero.  So if we're assuming that nmh is the
canonical definition of the value of Msg-Protect, the exmh code should
be changed to match.

Assuming Tcl is consistent in how it handles integers, I would say "yes".

# tclsh
% expr 0644
420
% expr 00644
420
