Reporter, this works for me using the same build under Mac OS 9.1. Please provide more 
information about how you got this behavior to occur; what URL did you access, what 
filename did you save it to, how did you subsequently load it in Mozilla (Open... dialog? 
Drag-n-drop?)

Marking WFM for now. Reporter, please feel free to reopen if you can reproduce and 
supply the additional information specified.

On 8.6, I found the following behaviour:

- If the file type is "TEXT" and the creator is "MOZZ", an extension of at least
".h" (and up to ".html") is required for a local file to render as HTML.  With
no extension, a file of this type/creator combination shows up as raw HTML code.

- If no file type is set, and the creator is "MOZZ", no filename extension at
all is needed for proper HTML rendering.  However, these files do not appear in
the "Open File" dialog (command-o).

Reporter, I saved a web page (maccentral.com) to disk and renamed it simply "test" and 
changed it's type/creator to TEXT/MOZZ. I then opened it in Mozilla by double-clicking it, 
by dragging and dropping it to a mozilla window, and by using the Open... dialog, and all 
displayed the file as parsed HTML, not raw.

What URL are you using as a test?

Re-confirmed the behaviour today.  Test URL's that displayed this case were
www.slashdot.org and www.macintouch.com.  If the file has no type, but creator
MOZZ, it will render properly.  If type is TEXT, I get raw text.  Again, this is
on 8.6

So, you save one of those HTML pages to disk; what filename? What is the type and 
creator just after saving?

What are your File Mapping settings for HTML documents in the Internet control panel?

...or, if 8.6 doesn't have the Internet control panel (I've forgotten whether it does or 
not), check for InternetConfig.

Changes made to "Internet" Control Panel fixed this issue.  When page is saved
to disk, there is no file type, but creator is MOZZ.  In this document, HTML
renders properly.  It was with the TEXT/MOZZ combination that I got raw HTML
code.  Now, in the control panel, I changed all my previous Communicator
references to Mozilla and now everything renders properly, regardless of type/name.

Thanks much !!
