Exporting a document to MHTML
Sending a Web document to another person through e-mail or another medium can be tricky. If a document uses images, and the URLs of those images are not on the Web, it’s not enough to just send the HTML file; you have to find all the image files and send them, as well. For a complicated document, you may wind up sending dozens of files, just so the other person can view one page.
To simplify the process of sending an individual Web document through e-mail and other media, you can export the document as a MIME HTML (MHTML) archive. An MHTML archive combines an HTML document with all the resource files (images, multimedia, and so forth) that it uses, into a single file. MHTML is the same system e-mail programs use to store attachments in an e-mail message. Internet Explorer—and browsers based on Internet Explorer—can open and display MHTML files as easily as HTML files, so most people should have no difficulty viewing an MHTML archive you send them.
The file name extension of MHTML archives is .mht. In Windows, .mht files are set up to open in Internet Explorer by default when double-clicked.
