[NFBCS] Opening HTML files

[Doug Lee]

HTML format, in Save As, indeed creates both an HTML file and a subfolder of support files. Internet Explorer addressed this annoyance with the .mht file format, which is essentially like a zip of all those files into one.
But I don't know of a single-file format that works across browsers that way now. It may work to zip that set of files and send that, but I haven't tried either sending or receiving that way.

Just a follow-up to my question about attempting to open HTML files. I've used
the "save as" function in both the new Edge and Google Chrome to save the web
page. It appears to be a .HTML extension. However, once I go into my documents
and press enter on the name of the "file" the page has been converted to a
series of files within a folder. I really miss the days where I could just
email the page to my intended recipient. So it seems like once I save the
page, it's no longer in HTML format. The website doesn't work with Internet
Explorer, so I can't go that route. Any additional help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
