[sylpheed:31927] Re: SSL certificate verify failed [SUCCESS]

[stef]

Petr,
This time I am SURE I used a UNIX format editor and added the certs to the end but no change.
Casco is correct, IMHO, that it works under Cygwin but not by just editing the certs.crt file (under windows).

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

No, it does not apply to Win32.

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.
