The messages generated from a RegularAction are actually different from a Feed action. The regular message is actually the only case where the creation of a filter itself will create a message, which acts as an event to trigger the "real" action. The reason for this was that I wanted to have: a) different filters for the feed action; b) different actions scheduled regularly. The text of the regular action is "Regularly scheduled action: " + dateString, and this text is normally discarded, what's more useful is the metadata associated with this message.
