Because it was our string freeze weekend I had immediatly commited 
MsgContext "adjective" after John verified the lot viewer was the only 
usage.

Frommy POV "Status of a not-yet-closed lot" would bw too specific. 
Someone might want to reuse it in another status report of invoices, 
orders …

But perhaps "Status" might have been less abstract— if someone wants to 
patch all po files.

IMHO long contexts should only be used on to one character abbreviated 
messages like the reconcile flags.

Regards
Frank
