Greetings -

I need to take a web page, such as [Google](http://www.google.com/webhp) , and  
save it  
as an MHTML document I can then load into a browser (IE currently,  
Firefox  
doesn’t have MHT support) and view.

I have been looking and playing with some libraries to do this,  
(mime/multipart\_alternative\_lite) but have been unable to get the  
encoded  
images attached to the document.

Has anyone else done this or know of any libraries that might give me  
what I  
need?

Thanks!

Jamie
