The most interesting property is the BodyStream as it allows the contents of the message to be seen:

Windows native tools

The MSMQ MMC snap-in can be used to manage queues.

Use one of the following based on the OS

Start > Run > compmgmt.msc (Computer Management) > Features > Message Queuing

or

Start > Run > compmgmt.msc (Computer Management) > Services and Applications > Message Queuing.

Queue Explorer

Queue Explorer is a commercial 3rd party product for managing MSMQ.

QueueExplorer can do much more than with built-in management console - copy, move or delete messages, save and load, stress test, view and edit full message bodies (with special support for .Net serialized objects), and much more. And it works with remote queues too!

Service Bus MQ Manager

A free application to view and manage MSMQ messages.
