[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,

This is a tiny nitpick. In display-time-mode, when the 12 hour format is
used, the time displays, for example, as "10:20AM". It should display as
"10:20 AM" instead. Notice the added space. Without the space, it looks
bad especially in my native ta_IN locale.

The change needed to the code is just one additional space on line 180
in the variable display-time-format of lisp/time.el.

Thanks!

The format is designed to be as compact as possible, since it's shown in
the mode line.  The users are free to change `display-time-format' to
whatever they want, of course, if they want a different format.

So I'm closing this bug report.
