support for mhtml

I like my Mac, and I like using Safari vice Internet Explorer or Firefox. However I work in an environment where IE is the standard, and where the team uses mhtml to share work. The fact that Safari does not support mhtml is making life my problematic - I am forced to jump through painful hoops to share certain critical work with my colleagues.

Please, Apple, add support for mhtml. I'm sure ther is some logic for using Safari's native webarchive format, but it is preventing me from collaborating with colleagues, and ultimately I'll probably end up ditching Safari in favor of IE or Firefox (with the Web Archive Format extension) out of necessity.

Many years ago it seems Apple software engineers realized that it was important to allow Macs to read and write to PC formatted disks, and to open and save PC formatted documents. As a Mac user I rejoiced. Why the step back in time?

Microsoft may have invented mhtml and it may not be accepted as a standard, but it's been around for a long time, and Firefox does support it via an extension. More to the point, though, it's something that I need in my work environment (maybe my company is quirky, but it's what we use) and as a result I'll probably be switching soon (unhappily) to IE or Firefox.
