You can't pick a particular message to retrieve from the queue, you must consume messages in the order they were added to the queue.

You can use the message ID property (BasicProperties.{set, get}MessageId) to add your own identifier to messages as you send them.

What do you want to do with the messages that you don't choose to process? Is there a way you could route messages more effectively on the send side?
