Comment # 25 on bug 8279 from 
Opening Text/Binary file is not "must be" feature for me, but this is very
comfortable. Also binary file can be used as first step to create/modify packet
by Packet Editor. You may not use that functionality, but apply them you do not
break anything, right? With Wireshark you can filtering text file, for example
searching with line contain Windows newline in Linux format os text file. I
treat text file as PNG file. Wireshark can open *.png, so *.txt can too.

Or maybe ask to change Wireshark from "protocols analyser" to
"protocols/formats analyser"? As I know Wireshark is more than network (Is USB
a network?).

I wonder why cosmetic feature is very popular to debate while normal feature is
not :)

To see it content, use packet editor to change it to something else (fix). Also
put your comment in interesting place (example: "John, this field should be
65").

Hmm... Emacs, right? I do not use it... but please tell me... why you can play
Tetris via Emacs? :)
