No.

There are other tools you can use.  I recommend (and use) MHonArc
(http://www.mhonarc.org/).  You can see what I've done with it here:

and the undocumented and non-trivial setup that creates that here:

  ftp://ftp.kanga.nu/pub/Kanga.Nu/WebArchives/

Or the older and simpler RCs here:

  ftp://ftp.kanga.nu/pub/Kanga.Nu/WebArchives.old/

Which have a similar look'n'feel, but don't support the various PHP
and PHPLib based clevers my new stuff does.

You can see examples of archived MIME messages here:
