MESSAGE TUNABLES

The system I use has some autoconfiguration capabilities.  It chooses the
following:

MSGMNI = 50
MSGTQL = 40

I need some clarification on this.  Why is MSGTQL < MSGMNI?  If we allow
50 queues, what is the sense in limiting the number of messages waiting to
be read less than the number of queues?  Can't we have more than one message
per queue?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean
