There is no option for message headers under View. How can I see email message headers in Thunderbird?

I Googled how to do this but they all say there is an option in the main menu under View. Maybe at some point there was, but not now. So how can I see the email headers?

The option was moved, maybe in 115.10.1 (64-bit). Now it's on the left side drop down menu and no need to press ALT. See attachment

Thanks to all for the support.
