 It's more likely it will break for everyone sooner or later than it will
 magically fix itself.

 The problem is the MSN servers do not return intermediate certificates in
 the SSL certificate chain, requiring us to bundle the intermediates with
 Pidgin. In this case it appears they have both renewed the certificate for
 omega.contacts.msn.com and also replaced or renewed the intermediate
 certificate that signed it ("Microsoft_Secure_Server_Authority").

 What isn't clear to me is if we need to continue to include the older
 certificate with the same DN (which doesn't actually expire until
 2011-02-19).
