where is the file for setting new file permissions?

[linuxmaillists at charter.net]

I want to change the automatic file permissions that are 
created on new files.  Where is the file that lets me do 
that?  A lot of googling got my a lot of information but 
none of it answered my question.

I want to have all new files set to 644 = rw-r--r--
