Version 0.99.5 that I'm using doesn't seem to have that option, only plain
"Copy". I assume that the copy command you mention gives the me text of the
header so I can paste it into a file and read it. That would be helpful, but I
still think the entire header should be saved when exporting the packet to
file. 

Having an indicator of the line being truncated would also be a good idea, I
think.


I have now also tried 0.99.6 on a different computer. "Copy -> Bytes (Printable
Text Only)" does copy the entire header. It fails to paste it into Emacs, but
works with Gedit. Oh well. When I export the packet from 0.99.6, the header is
still silently truncated. I would say that truncation is bad, while silent
truncation is unacceptable. If it's for some reason difficult or impractical to
always export complete packets, there should be a dialog that warns me that
something in the exported file was mangled.
