Hello,

I'm looking into the Artemis message viewer (part of Browse Queue). 2 things 
that bother me a bit on this.
Before making stupid "wish" requests, or working on it myself, I mention them 
here for some first reactions.
Note that we support multiple protocols to support various client-types.

1)
the message viewer implicitly converts a messages to a CORE message while 
viewing it, even when the message arrived as AMQP (and will be consumed as 
AMQP).
o.a., this introduces a few key fields that were not part of the original 
message, and will not be part of the real outgoing message, thus leading to 
confusion.
Also, some specific AMQP elements such as "annotations" are not visible.
How difficult would it be to show the message structure more in a form like 
their original protocol?

2)
The viewer knows about a few message types (in browse.js:createBodyText).
But the amqp payload types integer/list/dict/etc are all shown as bytes+text 
instead of a more polite representation.
How difficult would it be to add an AMQP-body decoder to show the full message 
structure?
This may of course depend on the way #1 is handled (or not).

thx!
Erwin
