Send Later no longer works

I've successfully used Send Later many times before. (Have used Thunderbird for years.) Now, when I compose a message and click on Send Later, the usual screen when one sets up the time, no longer opens. The message goes straight to Outbox that now is located under Local Folders. ( Very different than before.) I can see my message there, open it, and the timestamp is the time when I clicked on Send Later. Still no way to set up the time for sending.

I can see Send Unsent Messages under Files, but again, there is nothing to set up the desirable time for the sending option.

I'm afraid something got messed up in recent updates.

Please help. Thank you.

Which version of Send Later? The beta version 8.0.11 seems to work here in TB 78.

I'm on TB 78.4.0. Not sure how to find the Send Later beta version. All I know is that it used to work flawlessly with earlier TB versions, but no longer. At least, not in my case.

On the beta page cited above, click Assets to show the link to the xpi installer (direct link), right-click, Save Link As..., download the xpi file, drag it from File Explorer and drop onto TB Tools/Add-ons/Extensions.

According to the developer, Send Later officially doesn't work with v. 78. In his blog (https://blog.kamens.us/send-later/), however, he has the newest beta. Still not perfect, but useable.
