"Build a mail archive" does not build a mail archive #88

Description

@xroche

The Log, Index, Cache tab labels one checkbox Build a mail archive (use_mail_index in strings.xml, mapped to MailIndex in OptionsMapper.java, which emits the engine option -%M).

That option writes an RFC MIME-encapsulated single-file archive of the mirror, a .mht. It has no connection to mail. A user reading the tab has no way to guess that the box produces a self-contained archive file, which is a genuinely useful thing to know about.

Something like Build a single-file archive (.mht) would describe it. The string has no translations yet, so the rename is one line.

Found while documenting the option tabs for the offline help page (xroche/httrack#872), which currently has to explain the label rather than use it.
