Unfortunately not,
I had found this article too...

anyway, the relevant paragraph from it is this one:-
"Cause 3: The file has properties that prevent it from being indexed
Files can have properties that prevent the files from being indexed. A file
is not added to the index if any one of the following conditions is true:
The Index this file for faster searching check box is not selected. (To
locate this check box, right-click the file, click Properties, and then click
Advanced.)"

the problem is that IE8 is saving the .mht file with the check box NOT
selected - this seems to be a bug, which I was wondering had already been
reported/resolved anywhere??!

alternatively, does anybody know of the official channel(s) via which to
report such a bug?!

thanks,
m
