Plural string for keys going to expire soon contains a dot (.) after a list. In English, you don't start a sentence with a full stop:

The following of your keys will expire in less than 30 days:
- "kwadronaut <kwadronaut@>" (key ID XXXX)
- "another alias <nomen@nescio>" (key XXXX)
. We recommend that you create new keys and configure your accounts to use the new keys.

I don´t see how to create a pull request for ui/locale/en-US/enigmail.properties inside this Sourceforge interface, so here is my propposal:

expiry.keysExpireSoon=The following of your keys will expire in less than %1$S days:\n%2$S We recommend that you create new keys and configure your accounts to use the new keys.

Background: the code iterating over the expiry dates, adds a newlines:
keyDesc += "- " + getKeyDesc(expiredKeys[i]) + "\n"; And that's fine.
