I will be very happy if Save Page As... by default will select the choice "Web
Page, HTML only", or I could change this default somewhere, or, choose "Save As
Web Page, HTML only" as separate menu item. I'll explane why it's so serious for
me and all Netscape users I know. We save pages very often, and we need text and
images. But in 95% cases we need HTML only, or HTML + one big picture, and
nothing else. When MS added "Save with images" function to Internet Explorer,
(I'd browsing from the computer with no browsers except for Internet Explorer) I
saved pages, and I had to choose "HTML only" every time manually because
Explorer gave "Save with images" by default too. I've tired, really!
I see 3 variants.
1. HTML only by default.
2. Include option "complete/HTML only by default" in Preferences
3. Two menu items placed in File menu:
     Save Page As...
     Save Complete Page As...

The best variant is actually to remember the selection in that dropdown box....
