Description marco baldi 2003-03-13 12:24:33 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    I Don't KnowRedHat RPMs

under windows i've lots of html pages saved as .mht files.
i cannot switch to linux/kde until it supports this file format (for both reading and writing).
since konqueror alrady supports loading/saving of html pages with embedded images, i think you could implement a simple converter from the native koqueror format and mht files, so that the files are converted "on the fly" and transparently (the user should notice nothing...)
mht files are described in rfc 2557, see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2557.html)
thanks.

Should be possible using the mime decoding from kmail.... 
Comment 2 Munzir Taha 2003-12-05 02:09:53 UTC
Moritz Moeller-Herrmann, can you explain more what do you mean? .mht files should be opened by a browser, isn't it?
Comment 3 marco baldi 2004-08-17 17:11:57 UTC
mht files should be opened in a browser, but the mht format is also used by email some clients, so maybe it's possible to reuse some code, without reinventing the wheel.
Comment 4 marco baldi 2004-12-10 09:57:37 UTC
there's a mozilla/firefox addon to implement this feature
(maf.mozdev.org)
only I prefer to use konqueror... 
is there any chance that this will be implemented for kde 4 ?
thanks.

A kio-slave for displaying mhtml files in Konqueror is being developed by Spiros Georgaras, see e.g. http://lists.kde.org/?t=109584174200007 

As for writing mhtml files this is unlikely to happen since Konqueror already supports creating so called Web Archives ("Tools > Archive Web Page..." after installing kdeutils) which contain all files needed by a page in a tarred file called war. The request for support of writing mhtml files should be done in a separate bug report.
Comment 6 Roman Shiryaev 2005-01-17 00:14:13 UTC
Please, add the possibility to open mozilla archives (maff files) using konqueror. At this moment I use zip:// proto to enter each archive, then i've to change the directory to something like 1104238820475_974/  and only after these operations I should click index.html to browse the content of the archive. It would be great if konqueror will learn to do this job for user (Firefox with maf.mozdev.org extention opens archives too long for the first time -- konqueror will do this job a LOT faster).

I'm voting for the wish.

Please add new reports for new feature wishes. Feature wishes 
mentioned in the comments section of unrelated reports as well as 
reports describing multiple bugs/features at once are generally 
ignored. Thanks.

Could you use kio_mhtml to implement this feature ? => http://members.hellug.gr/sng/kmhtconvert/kio.html
