About WEBARCHIVE
Safari has saved pages as web archives since 2005: choose File, Save As, then Web Archive. The file is a binary plist holding the page's HTML and each picture, stylesheet, script and frame it used, with the address each came from.
Only Safari on a Mac opens one, so a web archive sent to someone on Windows, Android or Linux is a file they can't read.
Filepeek rebuilds the page from the files saved with it, frames included, with no script running and nothing loaded from the web. Its files are listed beside it, each opening in its own viewer, and Tree shows the plist.
