With this change, it's no longer possible to right-click on the answer, choose "Copy -> Value" and easily obtain the 
*entire* answer.  Now, you would have to copy each line one at a time to retrieve it.

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.
