Rephrase "This item no longer exists in your database"

mark

The error message that occurs when an item is not found in the database should be rephrased. In my workflow, a common reason for it is not that an item "no longer exists" but that it "not yet exists" — i.e. I have not yet synced.

Proposal: "This item does not exist in your local database. This may be because it was deleted, or because your database is not yet synchronized. .... etc."

Looks good, though note that I came across this in the Word plugin and not with attachments but items. In other words, it's a general issue for both items and attachments in the client, standalone and in the word processor plugins.
