============================
Re MHT: Probably not much use to you now that you have switched to Chrome, but I can report useful results with my trials of these Firefox extensions: (pretty impressive results actually)
- UnMHT - http://www.unmht.org/unmht/en_index.html 
- Mozilla Archive Format (MHT/MAFF) - http://maf.mozdev.org/

The caveat I have is that, though these both work perfectly, the content of saved MAFF files (pages) might not always be easily searchable. Whether you have saved single or multiple pages/tabs, viewing the archive file may be restricted to a Mozilla browser with the MAF extnsion. Universal Viewer and Internet Explorer do not seem to be able to decode the compression (.ZIP) format they use, though 7-zip can open the files OK as an archive.

Interestingly, I noticed that the MS Labs OneNote Canvas experimental software (circa 2009?) exported/converted all the OneNote .one files into .mht files. (It was a one-way conversion only.)
