If I understand your question correctly then I think the answer is 'yes'. A
message can expire at any time right up to the time you actually remove it
from the queue. The fact that you have browsed the message in the past is no
guarantee that you will be able to MQGET it in the future. In fact, when a
message is removed is one of the principal times we check for message
expiry. Clearly users would be upset if we returned an expired message on an
MQGET

Hope this helps,
