 > How to replace your certficate (the GUI method):
 >
 > Go to pidgin's Tools->Certificates to remove the old certificate. Don't
 close this window yet. (You can, but it is easier to not)
 >
 > With your browser, go to https://omega.contracts.msn.com. It will give
 you "Directory Listing Denied"
 >
 > With Firefox, if you click on the lock in the lower right corner, you
 get a dialog box, where you can click on View Certificate. On its Details
 tab, you can export the certificate to a file.
 >
 > Now, back on the pidgin Tools->Certificates dialog, you can add this
 certificate, and all is well.

 > When I click on the lock in the address bar in IE, I can see the
 certificate, but it won't let me export it, so I can't help you there.

 I can confirm this fix worked for Pidgin 2.7.5 on Windows 7 Enterprise 32
 bit. Thanks!
