You may be able to open .pub (guessing Publisher) files (extensions mean nothing in Linux with scribus

How? There is the XPI which is an extension for firefox, you can install iot and view MHT files in firefox.

Did you even read the link???

Then you should have said "edit" instead of "open"

Seems if you rename it to .eml you can use thunderbird to work with it...

lol. It is fine now. I just copied an pasted and reformatted the text I have, because I also saved it as a PDF, and I am now working with it in Openoffice.org Draw.

I do think that is funny how Microsoft can't even keep up with their own technology, though! :P
