Quite a few software vendors like Cognos, VMWare, Oracle... generate files using
the "web archive" format (.MHT). Often, those files are called ".xls" and open
nicely direcly in Excel.

When using OOo in companies, this is a recurrent issue: users can't open those
files under OOo. It would be nice to have the same result as in Excel.

Please see the attached files for examples of such generated files and the
following links :

- A File Generated with VMWare:

- How it should look like:

- Another example:

I think that this issue depends on:

Issue 75653 : HTML import doesn't recognize UCS-2 encoding.
Issue 70981 : Calc opens html-"xls" file without formatting (ignores css)
