Thanks again Ted. I have edited your reply and added my comments:

In my experience, some browsers can create an MHTML file, but few can
read it. An email (.eml) file reader can, though.
This is exactly what I have found ...
What is it you are trying to accomplish?
I frequently want to save a web page for offline use at a later time and
prefer not to have the saved HTML and an associated (_files) subfolder
containing images, stylesheets etc. I suppose I could print the web
page to a PDF but that would be too easy <g>

Note, too, that the format has several known exploits:

Thanks for the heads-up, best rfegards

Hi Ted
I finally remembered ... I checked out some other MHTML files that I had
worked with previously. It turns out that none of the browsers displays
MHTML correctly BUT if I use the IE Tab extension in the browser they
show correctly - and they display correctly in IE as well. I don't know
if there is any other workaround for Chrome, Firefox etc.
Thanks again
Paul

Paul:
How are you saving the page as MHTML? Are you doing that in a browser,
or using Automation or something else?
If a browser, which one?

Hi all
I have an HTML document in, say, C:\Temp. It contains, amongst other
things, the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./tech1117.css">
and
<img width="575" height="467" src="./Domain00.jpg">
This file displays correctly and I save it as an MHTML (Web Page, Single
file). When I open the MHTML the styles from the stylesheet are not
showing and nor is the image, even though the MHTML, stylesheet and
image file are all in the same folder.
I have tried this (saving as MHTML and opening MHTML) using Chrome,
Firefox, Edge and Opera. Inspecting the MHTML shows
<link rel=3D"stylesheet" type=3D"text/css"
href=3D"file:///C:=/Temp/tech1117.css">
and
<img width=3D"575" height=3D"467" src=3D"file:///C:/Temp/Domain00.jpg">
Am I missing something here? I thought that the MHTML could be opened
from anywhere and should display correctly even if the stylesheet and
image files are absent (because they should be embedded in the MHTML).
Many thanks
Paul Newton
