Correct.  Otherwise, once you set a read filter, you'd be stuck with
that read filter for your entire Ethereal session, which wouldn't
necessarily be what one might want.

If you want a read filter for a file read from "File:Open", you have to
put it in the entry field in the "Open File" dialog box.
