Transferring web pages and mht

When web pages are saved as html pages, the css content,the graphic content such as images etc stored in a folder parallel to the .html file.Now if you want to transfer this html file,you have to send this folder too.This makes transfer/upload/sharing of html files difficult.
With Internet Explorer[>5] you can save your html page As Web archive or Single html file.This embeds/encodes the graphic/media content used by the html page into a single MHTml file[MIME Html page] making it easy to share with others.Open an mht file in a notepad and observe the embedded stuff.Firefox 3.x and above has support for saving the web pages in mht format.
