The *web UI* will truncate messages you've pulled from a queue to 50000 
bytes (basically so you don't crash your browser).

The HTTP API allows you to ask for messages to be truncated in this way 
(which is what the web UI does). Other HTTP API users can get the full 
message (although due to the way it's base 64 encoded and stuffed in 
JSON you probably don't want to receive huge messages this way).

Messages are not truncated in the queue, or in any other API.

Cheers, Simon
