User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031208

Saving web pages with the "html only" option normally works flawlessly.
But when I save a page from the yahoo finance message board as html only, I get
a gz- compressed binary file with the suffix htm. 
That is a nice feature, because it saves space. But the browser should have an
option to let the user switch that feature on or off. The browser should also be
able to recognize that type of saved file and display it correclty as a html
file, when that saved file is opened. 
The http adddress given above is just one example. I can reproduce that bug with
any other message.
By the way, saving the pages with the 'complete' option works normally
