It appears Thunderbird 68.2.2 does not have "Tools > Options." I don't
see Options anywhere? So I will work my way through the remaining suggestions ...
It has moved to "Edit--->Preferences--->Advanced"
24 hour time seems like sucb a basic need, always wondered why it wasn''t
included as an option from the beginning with the earliest computers? There must be some
insurmountable difficulty in adding that as an option.
Most folks in the US don't know how to deal with 24hr time.
There has been a Config Date and time AddOn that added a GMT offset number to a displayed
sender's time which I always looked at when reading messages. That seems unavailable
now, my Fedora-29 system still has all this stuff. Anyway I find 24 hour time less
confusing than the AM/PM format.
