We have quite a few MHT files which are either not identified by DROID or get multiple identifications, usually with the HTML format.

Currently it appears the MHT format in PRONOM is attached to the RFC-822 MIME spec. With my limited understanding this appears to be more related to the email standard.

Many of the MHT files I find which don't align with the current signature were saved from other programs, like Microsoft Word, or directly from a web browser. They seem more related with RFC-2112 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2112  or RFC-2557 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2557
which are MIME Multipart/Related Content-type standards. 

Curious if anyone else has looked into this or is having similar issues.

Thanks.
