Default MHT files.

Thanks Bob!
So basically they are MIME format, right? I am trying to read them
(stream them into a string) and I am having hard time finding a way to parse
them. Any ideas?

Hi Mihail,

MHT files are sort of the MS Internet Explorer browser version of a zip
file.
Usually an HTM file has only plain text coding and any content that is
displayed in the browser such as a graphic is done so by a
link in the HTM file to the location of the picture. In an MHT file that
linked content is stored and shipped along with the HTM
data so that it's self contained.

Whether you're using an HTM or an MHT file, if you're using File=Save as
Web Page from Word all of the content that would be in a
.doc file is saved by Word, and will be brought back from the HTM file set
or the MHT when you reopen that in Word, but web browsers
can't use all of what Word shows, so they're stored away but not presented
in the browser.
