How to View MHT Files

MHT is short for MHTML. It is a filetype used for archiving Web pages. Most Web pages are written in HTML. The main difference between regular HTML Web pages and MHT archived pages is the way each references media. HTML files usually refer to images and videos stored at a different address on the site. MHT files save the media and code in one file, which makes MHT ideal for Web archiving. You can view MHT files with Internet Explorer, Opera or Microsoft Word.
