Hi Mishari, please keep your responses on-list, so you have the benefit
of the rest of the wget community fixing my misunderstandings. :)

Also, it's preferable to post your responses below any quoted material,
to make it easier to follow the conversation history; I've adjusted
accordingly.

And you've answered your own question. :)

Wget, by default, will not follow links across hosts, unless you ask it
to (-H). If you plan on actually viewing the resulting pages, you'll
also want to specify the -k option, which will convert the links to
refer to the downloaded files, instead of to the original hosts.

After running

  $ wget -H -k -p http://www.fdoxnews.com/

It downloaded all of the relevant files. However, the results were still
not viewable until I edited the link in www.fdoxnews.com/index.html,
replacing the "?" with "%3F" ("index.mas%3Fepl=..."). Probably, wget
should have done that when converting the links, considering that it
named the file with a ?, but left it literally in the converted link; ?
is a special character for URIs, and cannot be part of filenames unless
they are encoded. I'll make note of that in my buglist. You may have to
make the same adjustment in other files to get things exactly as you desire.
