Does anybody have documentation on the MEL_SEND_FLAG function? I see it in the built in function library but I cannot find any documentation in my cpo symbols help file.

Not all of the parameters seem that obvious to me:

MEL_SEND_FLAG(Type, To, Priority, Due date, Subject, Message, Chart_tab, Expiration date)

Thanks!
