Hi Orin, Thanks for the update. Yes, you are right. I see your point that the current behaviour would not be desirable by anyone; therefore, it is a bug. I hope it is as easy to change as you described.
I have created an "upstream" bug report at the Thunderbird/Mozilla bug report site called Bugzilla. And I have linked that bug report to this one. Here is the link to the other report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1484558 Please feel free to monitor that bug's progress and/or make comments there on that website. Now that this bug report is confirmed, hopefully they will action it soon. Though, I must advise that it will likely be classified as a low priority ticket. It may take a long time for them to action it, as the programmers themselves are also volunteers. Thank you for your patience. I will keep an eye on this ticket to watch for progress. Hope you are well.

Apparently the file gets overwritten for each message. I expected the file to contain all messages. To reproduce: 1. Select multiple messages. 2. File -> Print... , select Print To File. Printer "PostScript/default". Enter filename and click Print. 3. View generated PostScript file (in Evince, for example) to see it only contains the last message. This on Ubuntu 9.10, Thunderbird version 2.0.0.23 (20090817).
