Using Claws-mail 3.14.1-1~bpo8+1 on Debian, from the jessie backports
repo.

So someone sent me an email with a

[winmail.dat  application/ms-tnef (12640 bytes)]

attachment. I shut claws down and installed the tnef plugin:

However, on starting Claws I don't see the plugin in Configuration -->
Plugins or in Configuration --> Preferences --> Plugins. The message
looks like the "before" image in the web page for the tnef
plugin. http://www.claws-mail.org/plugin.php?plugin=tnef_parser

What am I missing?
