[db-wg] Help needed to delete an object via email

HI Hank

Just a note for the future. If you find yourself in this situation again 
you can try doing an update on the object first to remove the 
problematic "remarks:" attribute and then delete the object in a second 
step. This work around often helps in these situations. It gets around 
the problems of weird behaviour of mail clients.

cheers
