What happens if you send an otherwise-empty folder with a custom icon?

That *should* work, since a folder with a custom icon contains an  
invisible file named "Icon\r".

I do think it should be an OK/Cancel alert; it may not make a whole  
lot of sense to send empty folders around, but I see no reason to  
completely prevent it.

‘The folder “untitled folder” is empty. Are you sure you want to  
send it?
                                                     ( Cancel )  
(   OK   )
