Add Query Pre-Processing Option to XML API - Schedule Mailing
At the moment when you schedule a mailing via the web interface you can get queries to run ahead of/on send. Currently when you schedule a mailing via the API the query will always run on send. This has lead to emails being sent 20-30 minutes later than when they were scheduled.

We're happy to announce we have implemented new capability for the ScheduleMailing XML API!
The API now supports a <PRE_PROCESSING_HOURS> element, allowing you to specify how many hours before send time your mailing's contact source should be evaluated for eligible recipients.

This is awesome that this option has been released but the limiting factor for us is the fact that we cannot cancel a scheduled email via API. So if we want to use this new Pre_Processing_Hours parameter we have to forgo being able to cancel the email if necessary. Love the progress just pointing out a use case where we can't make use of this.
