whenever I use ie8 to save a web page as an .mht archive to my Desktop, I
notice that the resultant file does NOT have the "Index this file for faster
searching" attribute set, and therefore does NOT show up in my searches

if I simply COPY this file, the copy will have the appropriate attribute

any reason why this is, is there a setting to make this work properly, or is
there otherwise an open bug report against this "feature"?

thanks
