This is not really a bug but a request for enhancement. Microsoft Internet
Explorer has one really neat feature that is still missing in Mozilla: the
ability to save an entire page including all pictures into one single .MHT file
("MIME/HTML"). This allows convenient archiving of page snapshots (such as of a
closed ebay auction) without having multiple (many) separate files with all the
images stored on disk. Compared with printing to a PDF file, this format has the
advantage of keeping the full fidelity of the page (one can extract images later
for other purposes, for example).

Mozilla already has limited ability to open and display .MHT files saved by
Internet Explorer but this is still incomplete and also needs improvement.
