…r in order to restore browse mode functionality when reading emails (#11608) * appModules: add commsapps app module for Windows 10 Mail and Calendar 16005.13110 in order to restore browse mode functionality. Re #11439. In 2020, as part of unifying Mail and Calendar, hxoutlook.exe was renamed to commsapps.exe. Without the new app module, browse mode in Mail will not function, therefore add an alias app module for hxoutlook.py. * appModules/commsapps: flake8 (NOQA: F401, F403 as this is an alias app module) * Update what's new Co-authored-by: Michael Curran <[email protected]>
