Hi folks,

Re-installed last ca-certificates-letencrypt package and cygport announce and 
git send-email are working again.
Some unexpired letsencrypt certificates should probably have been migrated to 
ca-certificates or left in ca-certificates-letencrypt?

Trying cygport --debug and git send-email --smtp-debug=1 do not show any cert 
validation - any ideas how to see what certs are used in email auth?
