Hi,

I'd like to have such functionality but it should really be implemented
in mozilla. Otherwise you will end duplicating a lot of code. Mozilla
has already an api that allow to save page and his content, we just need
to add support there for MHTML. Once mozilla api support it, it's easy
to make ephy use it.
