When I try it in 6.0.0 the engine complains it is only valid for XML messages.
If this has not been opened up to other (hopefully all) Cloverleaf supported message types post 6.0.0 I will make an enhancement request.
If you are on a post 6.0.0 release and you are willing could you try this for something like HL/7 and see if you get log noise complaining?
Thanks.
