Messages in Azure Message Queue are going Straight to the Poison Message Queue

[Hoping this might save someone some time.]

The code below stopped working when moving to the newer QueueClient class (in Azure.Storage.Queues) from the deprecated CloudQueue class (in Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Queue):

QueueClient queue = new QueueClient(accountConnectionString, "myQueuename");
queue.Create();
queue.SendMessage(msg);

Messages are being moved into the associated poison message queue, and I don't see any error messages in Azure's ApplicationInsights.

When I manually move the message in Azure Storage Explorer from the poison message queue back into the queue, it works!

The CloudQueue class defaulted to using base64 encoding in the prior v11 library, whereas QueueClient does not!

To set base64 encoding, add a QueueClientOptions:

QueueClientOptions queueOptions = 
    new() { MessageEncoding = QueueMessageEncoding.Base64 };
QueueClient queue = 
    new QueueClient(accountConnectionString, "myQueuename", queueOptions);
queue.Create();
queue.SendMessage(msg);
