Although this should work, it bears pointing out that a few different 
applications have had in the past bugs in their OffLine mode, where the 
renderer would still go online to follow some links.

So setting it to offline mode is not a guarentee unless you have fully 
tested the program and can be sure that it really will stay offline.

I like the program CanOpener. It will open the HTML file, and then you 
can run the HTML filter against the file. This strips all HTML code out 
of the way, and lets you just read the embedded text. CanOpener has no 
HTML renderer, so it won't make any attempts to go online (in fact, 
CanOpener totally lacks any way of going on line at all)
