Well that works, but to my surprise English UK seems to still use AM/PM 12 hours? French does 24 hour time however I don't know if it will let me use an Englsh spell checker, it seems it should ? If they can have all those language options why notan English 34 hourrs? /get frustrated with Thunderbird but it's the only one I've tried that does most of what I want, however that advantage seems to shrink wuth each "improvemed" version they produce./ , Well that's another failed attempt at fixing my problem, I am not comfortable in French although it does work for me, it changes the theme in places to a blavk on white display that I need a magnifier to read?
