0d2b3231 - Suppress reporting of tables when reading emails in Outlook using UIA (#12820)

Suppress reporting of tables when reading emails in Outlook using UIA (#12820) Microsoft Outlook uses a Microsoft word document control to present emails when both reading and composing. NVDA is in the process of switching to using UI Automation to access Microsoft Word document controls due to major performance advantages, and also due to Microsoft no longer maintaining the Office object model. However, in the UI automation implementation exposed by MS Word document controls, it is impossible to identify the difference between a data table and a layout table. Thus, NVDa reports all layout tables when reading, which is extremely annoying, as the majority of HTML emails use many nested layout tables. Description of how this pull request fixes the issue: Tables are now classed as layout tables in MS Word document controls if the app is Outlook, and the table is read-only (Outlook is in message reading view). Being marked as a layout table means that by default the table will not be reported, however the user can still turn on the Include Layout Tables option in NVDA's browse mode settings temporarily if there is a genuine data table they need to have reported.
