--sslcert{file|path} overrides default store, add environment var...
If at least one of --sslcertfile and --sslcertpath is given, fetchmail skips loading the default OpenSSL X.509 trusted CA cert locations. If the environment variable FETCHMAIL_INCLUDE_DEFAULT_X509_CA_CERTS is set to a non-empty value, fetchmail will additionally load the default locations. The old FETCHMAIL_NO_DEFAULT_X509_PATHS variable was dropped.
