mht is microsoft proprietary format and most extensions saving/reading mht rely on IE object calls- opera is one of the few browsers that doesn't use the ms standard(object call) in mht saving.. technically it's borderline illegal but for some unknown reason ms isn't concerned.

Respectfully, your opinions are false. Better said: MHT is a RFC standard, mainly used by Microsoft. Its usage, or lack of, is economic-based, not technical, or even legal. MHT is just a container text file, similar to a rich format email file. It represents an HTML and its ancillary files, such as image and CSS encoded in base64. It also includes some metadata, such as original URL, and timestamps.

Whether other developers use OE (not IE) calls, may also be false, however, it could be plausible, and recommended. It would be less economical for Campbell Soup to attach a can opener to every can. If a component is available on a user's PC, then use it. IE relies on Outlook Expess (inetcomm.dll+) to save and view MHT. Opera 11, I infer, does not use OE for MHT. For example, I cannot save or view MHT in IE8, since OE was never installed; Opera saves and views well.[/quote]
