      There is a nice extention (Mozilla Archive Format) for Firefox for saving pages in MHT or MAFF format. You can also open pages saved with Opera or Internet Explorer(MHT).

        Guess who has the saying about what formats and standards will be adopted?
        We will get the internet we deserve because of millions of clueless idiots. That's what really sucks :irked:

          MHTML actually is a standard ... an email standard. Using it for web pages is a little stretch, but very small.

            While it has been designed with email in mind, the RFC 2557 introduces mhtml as a general purpose method (for example also for http and ftp). And using it for web pages is the main reason, no little stretch.

              Still hoping it's feasible to have the URL automatically appended to the source code of a "Web Page (Complete)" file.

                Chrome does this.

                  Only when saving as "Webpage, Complete", not "webpage, HTML Only"! How irresponsible.

                  This can't be implemented in Opera? I save web pages so frequently, I'm about to start using Chrome.

                    Presumably the newer Chromium-based Opera sports the same behavior as Chrome.

                        Why don't you save as "HTML file with images"? This will add source information to the end of the page. When I save this page the tail of the HTML file looks like this:

                        </body>
                        </html>
                        < !-- 1392775729.myo.cDoyNzowNTowMA== -->
                        < !-- This document saved from http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1817132&page=1 -->
                        

                        OK, it's not metadata, but better than nothing...

                          Well, that's actually exactly what I mean. I guess I was misusing the term metadata. What does metadata actually mean?

                          I didn't think to look at the end of the document.

                          Is there anyway to change it so that it's at the top of the document?

                            No. Anyway it's exactly what you asked for:

                            Appended means adding data to the end, not the top :whistle:

                              It is metadata. There is also a dedicated element for metadata, however. And in this case, if it were part of the web page you'd have something like

                              <link rel='canonical' href='http://whatever' >
