The files are extracted in the way that they are encountered on the wire.
Bro does not do any processing on them. So - if they are ASCII, they are
written as ASCII.

File extractions happens outside of the normal logging framework; there
currently is no easy way to copy extracted files to other log streams.

I hope this helps,
 Johanna
