Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Showing UDP payload in Packet List?

I have a logger that emits simple UDP packets with an ASCII payload (no decode needed).  I would like to use Wireshark as a log viewer, but I'm struggling with displaying the UDP payload as a column in the Packet List.  The UDP filter fields only seem to include header elements.
 
FYI - The data appears correctly in the Packet Bytes pane, it's just cumbersome to view log messages that way.
 
Thanks in advance.
