This should work in the next update.

I don't like that because it would prevent the empty-subject check when 
sending. I think this is important to avoid that people start sending 
emails with non-informative generic subjects lines :)

Maybe a comma-separated list of X attachment names and then “ and Y 
more” if there is a lot of them. Maybe it's overkill :)
