> nope... it only download the html file.
yep, I'm having currently a similar problem and question.

I try to generate a .mht to archive a page within one file.

httrack +*.js +*.gif +*.css +*.png +*.jpg -r2 -n -s0 -%M  
$URL

With -r1 I only get the html file and not for example the 
images on the page. With -r2 that's ok, but also the next 
link level is loaded.
