Attached "web archive" (.mht) file

Attached "web archive" (.mht) file
Sun, 02 Mar 2008 06:01:52 -060
[pardon if duplicate report]

Using 9.26/8835 Win32 (WinXP)

When I attach a "web archive" (.mht) file to an outgoing message,
then re-display the sent message from the "Sent" view,
the "attachments" box says that I have sent all the individual
separate components that are embedded within the ".mht" file,
rather than the single ".mht" file itself.

Hopefully this is merely a wrong report;
otherwise, what if I repeat my "Send" action
(what actually gets sent the next time?)

In any case, it is alarming.

Yes.  The MHTML format is more or less a standalone multipart/related
document, a format used often in e-mails.  When you attach an MHTML
document to a message, Opera treats it like a multipart/related body
part and separates it into its parts.  It's a bug.
