The wiki has an article discussing how the various versions of the
various browsers like or dislike .mht

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML

# 1 Web browser support

* 1.1 Internet Explorer
* 1.2 Opera
* 1.3 Firefox
* 1.4 Safari
* 1.5 Konqueror
* 1.6 ACCESS NetFront
* 1.7 Google Chrome

Since .mht was intro/d in '99 with IE5, I'm trying to figure out what
version of which browser which also works with W2K you might be using
which doesn't do .mht.

My firefox tries downloading .mht files, it refuses to open them.
Version 3.66. I can remember changing any settings with .mht in them.

Here are two Firefox extensions that will let you save and view MHT files
from Firefox.

UnMHT

UnMHT allows you to view MHT (MHTML) web archive format files, and save
complete web pages, including text and graphics, into a single MHT file.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8051/

Mozilla Archive Format (with Faithful Save) 0.19.3

Save exactly what you see, in a single file:
�X MAFF (based on ZIP) is compact and exceptional for video and audio
�X MHT (Internet Explorer's format) allows easy exchange with IE user

The article I cited says that native/default FF doesn't support .mht and
we also know that FF will run under W2k (but not W9x without kernelex).

So, there's a possibility. JD might be running FF natively in W2k.
