Mozilla: getting close.

3.

Actual Results:  File is saved as html

It is un-HTML'ed on Windows XP, but it does look strange because links are 
maintained in the plain text. Not sure if this counts as a WFM or not.

When I save, I get text (though some end tags are still present, but that's
filed as a separate bug already).  This is a current linux build....
