I just released yesterday, but I’ve decided to do a small update to this tool bringing new functionalities in order to solve some limitations, especially Character Encoding problem.
The Portuguese language has many letters with accents and while importing/reading the files in the previous version, all accented letters are printed as a question mark. It was obvious that I had a problem with Encoding.
Again, “Microsoft Message Queuing Testing Tool” is a simple tool that you can use to test sending files to Microsoft Queue in order to evaluate whether other applications are reading correctly the messages.
I’m using it to send messages to a queue that is being consumed by BizTalk Server
Release Notes
Version 2.0 brings:
- Improvements in the “Message Label” auto-fill
- Improvements in the “Import Message File” functionality with better control of the encoder associated with the file
- Add the ability to choose the code page identifier
Hope you enjoy it.

Hi, I’m using the Test messaging tool to send a message from a text file. When I try to send, it appears in the queue but has extra characters added – causing the message to fail (my message should start with MSH). I’ve tried different combinations of coding (UTF-8, ANSI, etc) –
