That's not unique to this protocol; there are other text-based protocols that show the text a line at a time, so that it's possible to easily *read* the dissection.

So perhaps we 1) should add support for selecting multiple lines in the packet details pane and copying them (I think there's already an enhancement request for that) and 2) make sure that copying that as a value produces the desired result.
