Doesnt seem to work. I enlisted all the attributes using AttributesToJson() and my message attribute(sqs.foo) is not there {"sqs.ApproximateReceiveCount":"1" "sqs.SentTimestamp":"1476305577165" "path":"./" "filename":"377732797336013" "sqs.receipt.handle":"ABCCCblah" "sqs.ApproximateFirstReceiveTimestamp":"1476305578287" "hash.algorithm":"md5" "uuid":"065fe8cb-84e9-4c64-a973-64f6587b0128" "sqs.message.id":"c22161c4-62d0-4c24-ab81-f50c68c740d4" "sqs.SenderId":"AIDAJQF5U6RNP4URGKOPW" "hash.value":"6813ed62f2481488e664bd6e1a814192"} ...
