What I found with Thunderbird 72.0a1 was that in order to get
Thunderbird to display times in 24 hour format, I had to go into
Gnome Settings->Details->Date&Time (where I already had the time
format specified as 24-hour) and turn off the Automatic Date & Time
setting. Having done this Thunderbird immediately displayed times in
24-hour format. The disadvantage with doing this is I will
potentially lose the automatic catering of Leap Seconds.
You'll lose more than that. You'll lose automatic correction of your
time, all year round. Computers don't keep time very well, and need
tweaking with the real time periodically. There's a reason that NTP,
and the like, do it all day long.
