Absolutely!

We have properties on an Exchange which are intended to be transient
things during the processing, then headers on a Message which are
typically intended to travel over the wire (some endpoints might
filter out or transform some headers).

So if you use

from("file:///c:/temp/test?noop=true")
       .unmarshal().csv()
       .setHeader("Client", "Jack")
       .to("test-jms:queue:test.queue");

it will populate the JMS header "Client"

I guess part of the confusion is the JMS API refers to them as
'properties' :) We've kinda used HTTP/email style terminology for
headers & properties which might cause confusion.
