In such cases it would be especially convenient NOT to extract those files before adding to Calibre.

I guess, I could extract the rar, zip the files instead and rename the zip to htmlz.
But with many such books it is a lot of work.


Anyway, I have a different problem with cases when rar file contains a single epub inside:
the 64 bit Calibre leaves rar, but the 32 bit Calibre extracts the epub.
So clearly, there is a bug in the 64-bit version, because the result is different with the same file. The problem is either directly with that file, or with the whole library and how it affects adding a rar file.
That is the whole purpose of Calibre leaving a HTML book IN a RAR: Keeps the together.

Calibre does a 'Smart extract'. A single file (except HTML) gets extracted to its native format, which is why RARS containing multiple formats Fail To Convert or extract (no single format)
