Hello Gerard,

thanks for writing about this issue. What is happening in your case is
that the server where phpBB is installed is sending a "Content-Type"
header of "text/plain", in other words the server is telling the browser
that the file you attached is a text file, not an archived web page.
According to the standards, the browser should display the file as text.

While Firefox has always respected the file type indicated by the
server, Internet Explorer looks at the file contents to determine that
the text file is actually an archived page, and displays the page even
if the server is explicitly telling it the opposite.

The correct solution requires the server administrator to change the
configuration so that *.mht files are served as "message/rfc822".

I realize, however, that there are several common cases where archived
pages are uploaded on servers that are configured to send them using
the "text/plain" content type, and it could be impractical to ask
administrators to reconfigure them, also given that Internet Explorer
already displays the page thanks to file contents inspection. I'm
thus considering to add a file detection method based on the file
extension, as a usability improvement, in the next version of the
Mozilla Archive Format add-on.

If you want to keep your installation updated to the latest version,
you can install Mozilla Archive Format 2.0a1 from the preview channel:

Your add-on will be updated as soon as the next version is available.

Hope this helps!

Paolo
