I don't know if either of these things are affecting what you see, but when
you add your buttons assign them unique Tag properties. Also, instead of
trying to assign Selection[1] to both a task and mail item test the item for
Class to see what it actually is. If it's a task and you assign it to a mail
item the try{} block will fail with an exception and go to your catch{}
block.
