This may be browser dependent, but with Internet Explorer you don't need an
extension to tell it what the file is. Just drop the .html extension from the
file. A properly formatted HTML file will identify itself when the browser opens
the file. I don't have any other browsers installed to test it, but I bet it
will work with other browsers, as well. Can't hurt to try it.
