Thanks for the replies. Found this:

and changing the "save as" type to "Web page.complete (*.htm*.html)" solved
the problem.

> From IE's own help under the topic "Save a Web page on your computer":
>
> To save a Web page on your computer
> 1. On the File menu, click Save As.
> 2. Double-click the folder you want to save the page in.
> 3. In the File name box, type a name for the page.
> 4. In the Save as type box, select a file type.
> 5. Do one of the following:
> * To save all of the files needed to display this page, including
> graphics, frames, and style sheets, click Web Page, complete. This
> option saves each file in its original format.
> * To save all of the information needed to display this page in a
> single MIME-encoded file, click Web Archive. This option saves a
> snapshot of the current Web page. This option is available only if you
> have installed Outlook Express 5 or later.
> * To save just the current HTML page, click Web Page, HTML only. This
> option saves the information on the Web page, but it does not save the
> graphics, sounds, or other files.
> * To save just the text from the current Web page, click Text Only.
> This option saves the information on the Web page in straight text
> format.
> Notes
> - With Web Page, complete and Web Archive, you can view all of the Web
> page offline, without adding the page to your Favorites list and marking
> it for offline viewing.
> - When you choose Web Page, complete, only the current page is saved. If
> you want to view Web pages and the pages they link to while offline,
