Well, the question should rather be: What kind of enhancements have I
not received because of this?

If I may quote one of the GNOME / GTK+ blog posts:

So, Claws Mail sticking with GTK+ 2.16.6 on Win32 makes no sense to me.

And even GTK+ 2.24.8 is several years old now. We're now at GTK+
2.24.23.

Sylpheed 3.5.0beta1 Win32, which will probably be released next week,
also has been updated to GTK+ 2.24.23, and that alone has fixed several
issues / brought several enhancements, see:

http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/13
http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/redmine/issues/124

So, IMHO, Claws Mail Win32 should definitely be updated to GTK+ 2.24.23
as well ASAP.
