Just curious, Jan,

The Rev Dictionary states the argument to cancel is the id of the 
message (though it then gives an example referencing a line from 
pendingMessages).  It does not show or mention cancelling an event by 
name.  I trust it works, or you would not have posted this.

BTW, someone posted something along the lines of:

    send "someMessage" to me in x seconds
    put it into messageId

a few days ago.  This will NOT work: the second line should be "put 
the result into messageId".
