There's no real underlying protocol primitive that maps to "delete a message". The way AMQP works is that you get sent messages and then you can (in 0-10 at least) choose to accept responsibility for the message (thus allowing the server to delete it), or decide not to do so. Browsing vs. consuming is essentially just the difference between whether the recipient has got a lock on the message while they are deciding on not.
If you are working with the low level protocol you can thus construct something to "browse" and then selectively delete (acknowledge), but this isn't really made visible through the JMS API. If you're interested in what might be involved in implementing such an API you can try to get your head round the client side selector code in the JMS client... Since the C++ broker doesn't yet implement server side selectors, the client works by getting a copy of all messages, and then only exposing to the user those that match the selector. [The Java Broker does implement server side selectors, so this code is not necessary when connecting to the Java Broker]. However, if I were you I would look to see if the kludge-y solution gives acceptable performance/overhead as I think trying to engineer the above is not a simple/small task. Going forward we'll hopefully be re-engineering the Java client such that it sits atop a more generic messaging API as is seen in the Qpid C++ and Python clients. This would give a better opportunity to use functionality not easily expressible through the JMS APIs.
