Remarks

Interface for message contexts.

Messages are delivered inside message contexts, which store the message itself plus additional data associated with the message. Recipients of a message are usually interested in data that describes the message, such as its origin or when it expires. They may also be interested in optional out-of-band binary data that is attached to the message.

The sender's address (IMessageContext.GetSender) is often needed to send a reply message to a message sender, i.e. in response to a published message. The message attachment (IMessageContext.GetAttachment) is an optional bundle of binary bulk data that is transferred independently from the message itself and allows for transferring larger amounts of data that would otherwise clog up the messaging system.

In case a message was forwarded by another endpoint, the context of the original sender can be accessed using the IMessageContext.GetOriginalContext method.
