User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/48.0.2564.116 Chrome/48.0.2564.116 Safari/537.36

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.
