HI Attila,

Your right on all counts.  Something like the PriorityQueue should do
the trick but it would need to be done on the PrefetchSubscription's
pending list.  The message list of the Queue is not used unless the
Queue is filling a new consumer.

The hard part in implementing this is making supporting priority a
configurable policy option configured via activemq.xml.  Supporting
priority adds overhead that most JMS applications do not need to incur
and should be off by default.

Please submit us a patch if you get this implemented.
