We consider the decays of a correlated neutral-meson--antimeson state withC-parity +1. We show that there is CPT noninvariance in the mixing of theneutral mesons if, for any two decay modes f and g, the decay rate has acomponent R_A which is antisymmetric under the interchange of the decay timest_1 and t_2. In particular, one may cleanly extract the CPT-noninvarianceparameter with the help of R_A by using opposite-sign dilepton events.Comment: 6 pages, Latex, no figure
