Can .mht files be converted?

[Starfish]

Hi,

Can .mht files, which save an entire web site, be converted to .lrf files?

If so, what program does it?

Thanks.

mht is basically a mime package of html and related files. Open a ticket for libprs500, I'm sure it won't be hard for Kovid to implement
But if you need to convert just one file, open it in browser and use Save As an HTML file with images. Then use html2lrf.

Just PM'd Kovid and he answers:

I don't know of any open source app to convert mht to html, which is what is needed to add support for mht to libprs500 and I don't have the time to write that app on my own. Sorry.

So, I guess I'm out of luck.

Hi,You can change the file extension on the file from ".mht" to read ".uue".

Hi,

You can change the file extension on the file from ".mht" to read ".uue".
You can then open the ".uue" file up in a zip program such as WinZip.

You can then extract one or all the files contained in the renamed .mht file
using the WinZip program interface.

Of course, you will have to change the file extensions on the extracted
files because the extracted .html file will have a .txt file extension when
extracted. For instance, when you are viewing the .uue file in WinZip the
.html file will have the name 0001.txt and will also have that name and
extension when it's extracted. So once it's extracted just change the name
of the file from 0001.txt to myfile.html for example. Likewise, image
files contained in the .uue file will contain extensions such as .001, 002,
etc... and will have to be renamed with thier proper extension once they've
been extracted.

And there a software tool on softpedia
