I've tried using _stdcall but it seems to make no difference. I
assume this must be the default for mingw2? Either way, the results
are the same.

Yes, this is exactly what I see. And I am returning the valid info,
yet no info is shown in the plugin options. Here is what I see when
adding the plugin:
Loading spam plugin (DLLMAIN/DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
TBP_GetStatus(0)
TBP_NeedConfig(0)
TBSGetString: source='TB Spam', destination is null, size=0
TBSGetString: source='TB Spam', destination is valid, size=7
Unloading spam plugin (DLLMAIN/DLL_PROCESS_DETACH)
Checking the value of destination before I return show it contains the
correct string value.

Ah, thanks,
