MHT support. found in following MS products:
- Outlook open HTML emails externally > there are 3rd party hacks to open with default browser
- Problem Steps recorder saves > use Powerpoint for step recording
- Cluster Management MMC / Cluster Test report > Workaround: Windows Admin Center / PowerShell Test-Cluster
- some parts of Group management console (neglible)
