Note: This bug and the referenced upstream bug are different bugs. This bug is about the missing facility of exporting e-mails into PDF files on the local file system. The print dialog of Thunderbird 2.x and older is not the standard print dialog of GNOME and its "Print to File" generates only PostScript files. There is also no "Export to PDF" in the "File" menu. The referenced upstream bug is about the data format which is sent if one prints to an actual print queue. This format should be PDF and not PostScript any more.
This bug is actually fixed in Thunderbird 3.x, as 3.x uses the standard GNOME printing dialog and so the "Print to File" functionality allows exporting PDF files. The referenced upstream bug is not yet fixed, but a patch is supplied there.
