By the way, the above is what I did and it reminded me we still have a problem 
when the UI displays (as a result of my failed attachments)

        items with (0 part(s))

because when I control-click to examine properties I get an unhandled exception 
(however I can delete the items if I do not try to inspect them).


Ideas

1) in addition to the section label suggested in my last email, should there be 
a "check" on the length of what is in the free text description with an alert 
if it's too long?

2) is the exception worth to handle (or maybe not if the capacity to generate 
broken entries is plugged)

?
