That might the way it's supposed to work on Windows, based on the way the
Windows 7 version of WordPad works. If, in the Save As dialog, I select RTF as
the file format (RTF is the default) but specify a file name of Document.txt, a
dialog pops up saying
You are about to save the document in a Text-Only
format, which will remove all formatting. Are you sure
you want to do this?
To save in other format, click No.
and if I click "Yes" it writes the file out as plain text rather than RTF.
I would recommend using .pcap rather than .trc as the file extension for
pcap-format captures (and using .pcapng for pcap-ng-format captures); yes, it's
4 characters, but, well, 1995 was 17 years ago.... Let Wireshark supply the
extension (it'll pick the appropriate one) rather than supplying one yourself.
