What is a .RMH file?

An RMH file is a special type of HTML document, known as a Rights-Managed HTML Document. It is created using a specific toolkit called the Rights-Managed HTML SDK. The main purpose of an RMH file is to protect and secure the content it contains. This means that the information within the file is meant to be accessed and viewed only by people who have been given the right to do so. The content inside an RMH file is similar to what you might find in a regular HTML file, but it is encapsulated using a format known as MHTML. MHTML stands for MIME HTML, and it's a way to combine HTML code and resources like images or JavaScript into a single file. This makes it easier to distribute and manage the content as one package.

To ensure the content is protected, RMH files are used. These files control who can view or print the MHTML content, maintaining its original format and layout. However, to open and view these files, you need a specific setup. Originally, the only way to access the content of an RMH file was by using Microsoft Internet Explorer with a special add-on called the Rights Management add-on. This add-on worked with Internet Explorer to unlock and display the content of RMH files for those who had the permission to view it.

It's important to note, however, that this method of accessing RMH files has been discontinued. Microsoft Internet Explorer and the Rights Management add-on are no longer supported or updated. This means that if you come across an RMH file, you might find it challenging to open or view its content due to the lack of compatible software. As technology evolves, alternatives and new solutions may emerge, but as of the last update, accessing RMH files requires the specific setup mentioned, which is now outdated.
