This is equivalent to adding @text to the * @mem_list. Also, when this parameter is passed, @text is not * automagically localized and it is up to the user to do it. * * If the MSGBOX_NO_INTL flag is passed, @title, @text and button * labels will not be localized automatically inside of msg_box() * and it is up to the user to do the best job possible. * * @title The title of the message box.
