Where can I find a downloadable thunderbird 38.1.0 for Mac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan?

All the posts suggest 

 Please see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all/

but that just offers the latest version (current 91.9.1) which won't run on El Capitan.

Other posts tell you to look at 

 https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/

but that only gives you the release notes for the older versions, without any download links.

How do you get the older versions?

The current download link is 

 https://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-91.9.1-SSL&os=osx&lang=en-US

I just edited the URL in the search box, changing it to: 

 https://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-38.1.0-SSL&os=osx&lang=en-US

and that gave me what I needed.
