Well, I can't answer for "everybody" but I knew that! Where have YOU 
been? If you have secondary languages installed you can have real fun 
by changing a job to put the language library at the job and watch all 
the messages change dynamically. Great for confusing uppity operators 
in moments of frivolity.

If you dump a message queue object you can see what it contains.
The structure is different for each type of message but you can see the 
message file name, library, message ID, message CCSID, substitution 
data, sending job name, sending program, pointer to actual message 
file, pointer to senders job message queue, etc.
