Thanks for now supporting links :)
... but it works good enough only for "external" links, and not as good for
"local" ones, referring to places inside in the same pdf
... doing so, the link GENERATED will not work at all (i.e. not very
clickable) while viewing the PDF file in FireFox (internally using pdfjs),
and it works while the pdf file is viewed in an external pdf viewer, but
then yet again the link works as an external link, pointing to the linked
element inside the original HTML file, not inside the same pdf file, which now
contains a pdf equivalent of that html element ...
Below is a test case to show what I mean by all those stated above:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>PDF test</title>
<style>
@media print{
h1{page-break-before: always;}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="hello">Hello!</div>
<h1>Links ...</h1>
This is a test to show how <a href="http://www.example.com/";>external</a> and
<a href="#hello">internal</a> links are treated while printing HTML files into
PDF.
</body>
</html>

Title:
Printing to PDF file loses URLs/links
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:
Fix Released
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
1. File -> Print...
2. Select "Print to File".
3. Enter the file name.
4. Enter the save-to folder.
5. Leave the output format as-is, or select PDF if it's not the default.
6. Hit the Print button.
7. Open the resulting PDF in any PDF viewer.
Actual results:
The URLs within the document are not actually hyperlinks. They are
simply text, coloured blue and underlined.
Expected results:
Any clickable links on the original e-mail message should be retained
when converting the document to PDF format.
