  1. the message ID
  2. the time the message is scheduled for (in seconds, Unix epoch time)
  3. the message name
  4. the long ID property of the object that the message will be sent to
The result

The message ID is the same as the one placed in the result function when it was scheduled with the send command.

Description

Use the pendingMessages function to check whether a message has been sent yet, or to perform some action on each pending message.

The time the message is scheduled for is in the same format as the long seconds form of the seconds function.

Once scheduled, a message cannot be changed. You can cancel a pending message with the cancel command, and re-send it with the send command.
