      I did get you before. It's working over here. Opera 28 opens mhtml files saved with Opera 12 just fine. (Win 10)

      Again, try to enable the flag. Paste opera://flags/#save-page-as-mhtml into your address bar, press Enter and enable it.

        I've downloaded and installed Opera 28, then I enabled the flag save-page-as-mhtml, closed the Opera 28, right clikked on

        a .mht file and selected open with Opera 28 ..... no way to have the file open, only a directory list appears

        also now if I rightclick on a .mht file and select open with Opera 12 all is fine and the file opens correctly

        I would like to disinstall the old Opera 12 but seems that there is no way, if I want to have access to my old .mht files

          Oh, I forgot to point your attention to the fact that I need to open old .mht files, not .mhtml files

            File ending doesn't matter here. They are both fine.
            Which version of Windows are you using?

                      I noticed on my system, with Opera 27 (latest version), if I try to open a .mhtml or .html and the name of the file starts with a # then I get a list of directories. If the # is any where else in the name, no matter if it's .mhtml or .html it will not open at all. The error is "This web page not found", I know it's a long shot but try renaming one of the files and see what happens. I also have 12.16 installed all files open normally in that one.

                        Thanks for checking, @kagliostro. It's a Chromium issue then. Could be this one. Did you save those mhtml files on a Linux / Mac by chance?
                        This one sounds like your issue, too.

                          Not sure if it's still the case with IE, but IE used to have problems with mhtml files with *nix/mac line endings. I think Outlook Express had the same problem with eml files (which are pretty close to mhtml files). Either way though, if an mhtml file doesn't use the windows newline format, the file should be fixed. Of course, I'm not saying Chromium shouldn't handle non-windows newline formats as a form of error handling.

                              db84x I've no problem opening files saved as .mhtml (saved using Opera 27), the problem is when I try to open old .mht

                              files saved with old versions of Opera (Opera 12) using Opera 27 to try to open it


                              As a try I downloaded Firefox and try to open an old .mht file, Firefox is not able to open the file and ask what he can

                              do, like olen it with Opera (as predefined),if you confirm to use the predefined Opera, the file is open in Opera 12

                              (remember that I've both Opera 12 and 27 installed)
