That is not a problem of the MHT format. It's a problem with IE, if IE is used to create the files. I don't use IE, and I doubt there are many users who do, who are keen to do offline captures. IE users are, IMO, too simple to be handling web page captures for archival and offline reading.. those users are happy if they can print something.

MHT is the most widely accepted format for offline pages. I wouldn't object to MAFF if there was better support for it. Last time I checked, the firefox MAFF plugin went obsolete, and only worked with FF version 1.0.
