receiving an inbound message having one or more delimiters;
determining whether a modifier list is to be used when parsing the inbound message into a message structure;
if a modifier list is to be used, parsing the message into the inbound message structure, wherein the inbound message structure is defined by one or more elements in the modifier list; and
