decoding mht files into components

Does anybody know how to decode Microsoft MHT archive files into their components (ie html, css, and images)?

I believe that an MHT file is just a MIME-multipart file. So you should be able to walk through it with a MIME library and pull out the various pieces.

MHT files are actually a quasi-standard called MHTML, which stands for "Mail HTML". They mimic the way that e-mail uses MIME to encode all the pieces of an HTML message (including graphics) to send via e-mail.

As Chris suggested, a MIME parser is a good idea.

Oh, and it's reached IETF standards track.

you can also use the urlmon mht: (or similar) urlmoniker if you know the name of the part you want (right-click on an image in an mht file or something to get the syntax)

Anybody know why IE doesn't save .swf (flash) files into the mht file - and is it possible to manually add them?
