I think that was very useful information. I hadn't thought of a Processor as
very low level - it's definitely a level that a lot of us will use. Then I
guess that in some circumstances (like when coding a custom processor) you
need to set the out messsage if the MEP is "out capable" otherwise you just
set the in message. Are there more situations where this is needed?
I think that this subject is definitely complicated enough to warrant a good
documentation somewhere. I think it's really important for developers to
understand core concepts instead of just using boilerplate samples (although
they are very useful).
