The FAQ says:

>Question:  	MAF doesn't save the page content properly. What's going on?

>Answer: 	MAF uses some (very) mangled code version of the File -> Save as

>I've mangled it too much. If that's the case, eMail the URL you're trying 
>to save to me with a brief description of your browser version, platform 
>and what's not right.

Symptom: MAFZIP.BAT is not entered. (I have commands in it to trace its 
progress).  Sometimes, but not always, if I Save As Web Page Complete, 
then load that, then save to archive, it will work.  Sometimes not.  The 
below URL does not work in that way.

<http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/10/opinion/10fri3.html>

Sometimes if I try is a second time it succeeds.  Here is one of those:

<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/10/AR2005061

(Sorry about the word-wrap, the mail client insists on it :(

Win98SE
Firefox 1.03
MAF 0.5.0

I usually use Proxomitron.  I tried bypassing it and still was not able to 
create an archive.

If I can be helpful by doing more testing or sending more info please let 
me know.

Many thanks.
