OE and MHT files

[SV]

Greetings,
Way back when I first discovered this newsgroup and learned lots about HTML
and stuff, coolness.

One of the things I liked about OE was that it could embed the images (so
they were sent with the message, not linked in like most HTML) and there was
even the ability to save the mails as a 'special' html file called .mht

This, like the e-mails, would embed the image into the 'html' document.

I found this handy when I sent stationery-based e-mails to people on Yahoo
and other internet-based systems. Normally those systems are lucky to show
the fancy fonts and stuff, but images seemed to not get through (and that
appears to have not changed). I could send an attached mht file and VOILA!
We have success.

I"m using OE6 now and don't find "mht" in the "Save As..." selection.

Am I mis-remembering something? Did 'mht' exist as I've described? Does it
still?

I have a story I put into OE mails about 4 years ago, including fancy
pictures and scroll-boxes and stuff, and now I find I can't save them as mht
(and my Outlook is completely unwilling to deal with them).

Yes <w>; No; Yes. You have to supply the .mht extension when you save
an .eml that you want to be opened by IE.

However, another related method of opening .eml files by IE is to drag
them to an open IE window. In the case of an E-mail in the inbox
you need to use Forward as Attachment first to convert it to an .eml
attachment in a new dummy E-mail and then drag that to your IE window.

And after opening the message in IE, then in IE there is the setting to save
as MHT. Not in OE.

Steve & Robert,

AHHH.. this explains much... I'll be digging into it and seeing what I can
do.
I had resorted to a lengthy, if effective, workaround, I like your
information MUCH better!

Thanks
