Are there any other encodings / decodings it would be worth having

Good point. For viewing encoded e-mail contents, uudecode support may
be useful, though it's not very popular these days as far as I can tell.
We could go the whole way and even add viewers for images contained
within capture files. I'm not sure how useful this would be?
Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail ;-)))
Ok, serious again, this is more of a question about a general way to
copy/export/display "generic objects". Why not be able to
copy/export/display a picture from a HTTP capture, or a HTML page, or ...
Other analyzers will provide you with a list of files, derived from the
captured HTTP packets, with an option to display/export it.
That reminds me of the media dissector which already gets in that
direction - we are getting more and more into the application layer -
and I like it :-)
