Hello,
I am almost completely new to using Wireshark and am hoping that someone
can assist as I haven't managed to find out any information about my
problem.
I am trying to prove that some jabber instant messenger packets are
encrypted when they leave my machine but Wireshark is showing them as
follows:
[truncated]

I am sure that in the past I had been able to see the full plain text or
That "[truncated]" looks like what I put in for:
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2009
Specifically, the complaint in that bug was that very long text strings
were being silently truncated. Not truncating the text seemed very
intrusive and difficult so I added the "[truncated]" part in order to
make it obvious that you weren't seeing all of the text string.
That is to say, I suspect previously you /thought/ you were seeing all
of the text but in actuality it was being silently truncated.
