Yes.
When you save it to your hard-disk it copies everything: text, HTML code, graphics, etc... even URL addresses, although no need to say the links will be disabled.
I recomend you to save it as Text only, it needs less storage room and avoids future problem with graphics display. The txt format is standard and will work in any PC or Mac.
You only need to clean up a few bits and pieces once it's saved, I mean, if you don't want to read part of the HTML code.
Here you have an example of Leoba's post on top of this page once it's saved:

When I save RP threads, I painstakingly save a post at a time,
just copying and pasting the text (not the sig etc). It's
laborious but do-able. Let's take this discussion over to
where it's relevant and dole out copy&paste duty.
I would really like to see this board move forward in its own
sweet way. Sure, we have a past. But I'd rather it weren't a
millstone round our collective necks.

You can get read of the text you dont need. Still it's the logical thing to do and far less annoying and tiring than copying and pasting.
