Quoting:Firefox doesn’t support MHTML files directly since 1.5.0.4 version, however under Windows this functionality can be added ...


At what cost? [Hint, not talking currency.]

Good question. The article isn't clear if this is a genuine open standard, or a MS non-standard. It does mention that Konqueror has its own Web page archiver- it's pretty slick and I use it a lot. It rolls a Web page into a bundle with the .war extension, and it looks like a single page. But behind the .war all the page elements and files are in a tar archive, so it's readable on any system that supports tar. Unlike MHTML, which requires special goo to work.

Well, I don't know how open the standard is, but Opera uses mht by default when you save a web page in it.

Hey, thanks, TC. I never used the archiver in Konqueror, it's pretty darn slick. Nice little trick for me to keep handy.

It is isn't it, Helios pointed it out to me a while back.
