2nd row - WhatId starts with 0XB

Comments (or Description in API)

Bonus:

If you do not see the Send List Email button in the Lead or Contact list view, check this:

1. Make sure Send List Email is selected in the List View Button Layout in Contact or Lead object setup, it used to be called Search layouts for Salesforce Classic prior Summer '22 release. 

2. Make sure the users have Allow sending of List Emails permission. However, if you remove Mass Email permission, this permission will be auto removed too, and re-enable back the Mass Email permission will not auto-enable Allow sending of List Emails permission.
