..which needs to be seen in a broader perspective. A different approach
could be rely on Mozilla Composer. So that you would need to click on a
button to open the message, as html, in Composer and save it from there.
Actually, the round trip usability of messages in Composer and of
Composer docs in Mozilla Mail is something I hope will become better. In
Netscape 4.X you could create - or open! - a html document in Composer
and then copy the whole content and paste it into Messenger message in
html mode. This would bring over everything, images as well as html. And
when you mailed the message both formating and pictures would be sent.
Making it a great html mail creator.
But currently the only thing you copy is the HTML-made part. The images
are not brought oer this way. Or rather - perhaps - the image links are
not copied correctly.
Both these things, sending a Composer document as mail and opening a
message in Composer, should have been easy to accomplish. And then you
could drop the save as html feature without any problem.
