Are you sure you haven't touched the certs.crt file within the Sylpheed
user's profile (as I pointed out lately here)?

I assume that's because many Windows text editors don't support a
Unix-style line break, they only do a Windows-style. So saving new text data
with Windows line breaks to a file that comes with Unix line breaks results
in a broken format.

However, many others text editors for Windows support both line break
styles.
