[chandler-users] This collection is empty.

Well we now use view to refer to the display widget in the Summary  
pane: Triage Table versus Calendar, so that doesn't feel quite right  
either.

I mean the literal way to do it would be: "This collection contains  
no items in this application area."

But for some reason, that sounds to me like someone trying to avoid a  
touchy subject.

What about: "No items in this application area."

This is equally as untrue as This collection is empty, but perhaps  
people will be less likely to conclude that they have no Msgs/Tasks  
or Events at all and "This collection'" will be more readily implied.
