Reading text-only body from MSMQ in C#

Hello,

I have a need to read messages from MSMQ (on the order of 350,000 messages
per day) that have a body that is text-only (not in XML format). There are
3 message formats to select from (XMLMessageFormatter,
ActiveXMessageFormatter, and BinaryMessageFormatter). All samples that I
have found indicate use XMLMessageFormatter, but I am not sure I should use
this because my message is text.

Does anyone know how I should read these messages?

It all depends - do you have control over the application that is sending the
message? The ActiveXMessageFormatter is used to send and receive messages
to/from COM applications (e.g. written in VB6). As you are only sending text,
I would recommend you use the binary formatter, as it should result in
smaller message sizes.
