I am not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do. It seems that you are trying to replace some strings in a message.
Usually, the best place to do this (provided that you do not have any constraint) is in a decoder.
A decoder gets to see the mesasge in the pipeline first. You can change things in here and then leave your existing pipeline
unchanged. This way, party resolution and other things will work.

This being said, a common error in writing custom pipelines is to not "rewind" the stream after reading it.
You should be stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); so the next component can read from the beginning.
However, without looking at your code, this is going to be hard,

You could post the relevant part of your code here and we would be better able to help you.

Thanks.
