[Slogger] HTML only saves images, too

Try this new one,

It should save HTML only and replace links with the full URL, like you 
were saying.  It was also doing this for text-only, which should not 
now.  But, I noticed that the "text only" saves don't work quite right, 
either.  It seems to broken a bit on FF too (File->Save Page As..., Text 
only...).  I'll have to see if there's a Mozilla bug submitted for this...

Side note, Slogger uses the Mozilla nsIWebBrowserPersist functions, 
which have a lot of options, and it's kind of confusing what all the 
flags do.  I was also thinking of having a 4th option, "advanced", which 
you can set arbitrary values for the saveDocument() function...

What you can do is change the value of $sloggerDir - but, this has to be 
done using "about:config".  Then, both will point to the new location. 
The way it is now, $localfile will return the string (usually with 
varaibles) stored as slogger.localfile.  I could have it recursively 
replace all variables, but in some cases, what you want would be 
ambiguous, so I'm not sure the best way to handle it...
