NOTE:

multi part html ('.mht') files will open in IE 5.5 or above only; as some of the '.mht' files are quite large in size, it would be best to open these files (i.e.: links) in new IE windows
if you have SP2 (Windows Service Pack 2) installed, you have to "Allow Blocked Content" in the Internet Explorer's Information Bar in order for the '.mht' files to display correctly
