Pending messages

Sort of the part 2 of my issues with "send"...
When "send in time" is used, the PendingMessages stores all the current
messages waiting to be sent. However, if those messages have
parameters, you don't seem to be able to access those when reviewing
the PendingMessages, either with your own code, or with the message
box's "pending messages" panel.
in other words, sending
"myHandler first param, second param" (Which seems like a pretty sloppy
syntax, BTW.)
shows up as "myHandler" in the pending message list.
If I have multiple scripts, calling the same handler, but with
different parameters, this can be difficult to sort one from the next.
Is the "typical" technique for this to catch the message ID when sent,
then register that with a "manager object" which can keep track of all
the messages and related parameters based on ID information? Now that I
write this, I'm assuming it is. But I'm open to any suggestions or tips
from anyone who does this regularly.
