176054 - Some characters display as garbage when loading MHT (mime multi-part) document.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 18764

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

I love mozilla.  Just like netscape, it has a little-used feature to load a
multi-part MIME archive.  This archive type has the MHT extension when saved by
internet explorer.  This archive format is a supported by our company's(
datadynamics.com) HTMLexport product.  

There is a glitch when loading the document in mozilla.
load or

You will see the  for each non-breaking-space (&nbsp) in the source document. 
This is the bug.  I don't expect mozilla authors to get frames in MHT working. ;)

So... I just tried using a command-line tool to see the raw data that the server
sends and the server just closes the connection... any idea why that is?

(I suspect that the quoted-printable encoding is to blame here, but without
seeing the raw network data it's hard to tell...)

Umm... I don't think Mozilla supports MHT files in the browser. (It does in
e-mail.) I think this is a dupe of bug 18764.

I see the same bug if I save google.com as .mht with Internet Explorer 6 and
then load the .mht file in Mozilla.

This is just a dup of the "support MHT files" rfe.
