I have no idea what that means.  What protocol are you trying to analyze?  
HTTP?  SMTP?  If it's either of those, then there's nothing particularly
"binary" about them, unless HTTP compression is going on.

That's a very helpful piece of information!  Still, I don't see what's
"binary" about HTTP traffic from/to http://mail.yahoo.com and 
http://webmail.aol.com.  Are they playing dirty tricks and not just using 
plain HTTP?

I don't think there are libraries that can extract individual e-mails from 
captured HTTP traffic from/to any webmail services.
