Few Good Questions - Difference between XML Transmit and Pass Thru default pipelines  

1. PassThru can be used with almost all types of files.
2. It will not promote properties
3. It basically provides a way to pass the message right into the MessageBox
4. The Xml Transmit is used for processing an Xml message and it will promote a few properties from the Xml message.
5. The XMLTransmit contains the XML Assembler component.
