You mentioned that you upgraded, are you sure that it wasn't upgraded?
When was the last time you closed and reopened Claws? Perhaps the
plugin was still loaded.

$ grep claws-mail /var/log/pacman.log | grep upgraded | tail

Paul posted a link to:

"13 days	upgpkg: claws-mail 3.14.1-2	andyrtr
	
disable fancy html plugin - Arch is dropping outdated webkitgtk due to
CVEs"

So assuming you upgraded from <= 3.14.1-1 to 3.14.1-2, it explains the
problem or if you upgraded in the past, but still run the not upgraded
version and closed and reopened Claws yesterday.

There's https://github.com/ilpianista/arch-audit , available by the AUR
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arch-audit/ or
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arch-audit-git/ and

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pkg-audit/, available by the AUR
https://github.com/jelly/pkg-audit .

Each time I upgrade by "pacman -Syu" (one "y" less than you are
using, since those appearing to be up-to-date, don't require a refresh),
I also run arch-audit. In this particular case arch-audit didn't output
"webkitgtk2", but usually it's an informatively tool.

Btw. sometimes a dependency of a dependency that isn't from official
repositories, but e.g. from AUR, could break an Arch install. There are
e.g. issues related to harfbuzz, if you are using freetype2-infinality,
without maintaining hafbuzz on your own. This harfbuzz issue isn't
related to claws-mail, but a well known example for the required
self-responsibility, when using a user-centric distro with unofficial
packages, since it could break many other packages.
