         * 
         * MHTML stands for MIME HTML. It is a standard for including resources 
         * that in usual HTTP pages are linked externally, such as images and 
         * sound files, in the same file as the HTML code. The included data 
         * files are encoded using MIME. This format is sometimes referred to as 
         * MHT, after the suffix .mht given to such files by default when created 
         * by Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer or Opera. (Some people feel this 
         * is improper usage.)
         * 
         * The key to MHTML is that the content is encoded as if it were an email 
         * message, using the MIME type multipart/related. The first part is the 
         * HTML file, encoded normally. Subsequent parts are additional resources, 
         * identified by their original URLs.
         *
