#22103 — No "Delete" option on Message Right-Click?

Thunderbird 153.3.1 on Windows 10.

When I right-click on a message, the drop-down menu doesn't show a DELETE
option.  I can still use the keyboard's delete key to delete the message,
but I'm wondering why the right-click option dissappeared.

Mark, Reply and Delete are now icons ("buttons") at the top of the
drop-down menu.

It's also a button in the button strip across the top of the preview
pane - at least it is for me; I think some people turn that off.

Thanks.  And, yes, it is off for/by me.

Thank you for assisting the functionally brain-blind (me)!
