claws-mail dependency on webkit2-gtk

Description
Can claws-mail really use webkit2-gtk? I've been building it and even when I hack the port to get the GTk3 build it still seems to insist on linking with the older webkit-gtk.
I noticed that when I could deactivate port:webkit2-gtk without affecting claws-mail .
When I deactivate port:webkit-gtk (with webkit2-gtk activated) I see this in the configure output:
... :info:configure checking for WEBKIT... no ... :info:configure configure: WARNING: "Plugin fancy will not be built; missing libwebkit-1.0 "
fgrep -i webkit2 on the source tree doesn't even give a hit so I don't see how the port could depend on port:webkit2-gtk instead of on port:webkit-gtk.

I noticed that if I install webket-gtk, the "fancy" plugin does get built. :-) (useful to display those silly html mails)
Thank you

Indeed, claws needs port:webkit-gtk, not port:webkit2-gtk.
Sideways related: can webkit2-gtk really be used in/by GTk2 applications?

there has been active work on the gtk3 branch the past year. it uses webkit2-gtk. I'm not certain how buildable it is yet.

Reputedly it's usable but I haven't tried it.
You seem to be correct.
