[nvda] Revision 233 - Finishing off support for editable documents in Outlook Express and Internet Explorer

Hi all,

Revision 233 fixes the problem with navigating editable documents in Outlook Express and other internet Explorer_Server windows where the entire paragraph was being read rather than the current physical line.

There is no way (as far as I can see) to ask Internet Explorer for the start and end positions of a screen line, so the moveByLine script for these documents moves to the line, moves to the end, records the caret position, moves to the start, records the caret position, and then speaks the line according to the found positions. Its still a bit flaky, sometimes the line is blank the first time you arrow to it, but its much better than it was.

This change now makes Outlook Express now usable for both reading and writing email messages.

However there are some controls in Outlook Express that are not labeled properly, and we may have to think of implementing some kind of prompt labeler (god forbid).
