Reproduce:
Case description: If you don't want to use some or any of the attachment previewers, do the following in Outlook:

  1. Click the File tab.
  2. Click Options
  3. Click Trust Center.
  4. Under Microsoft Outlook Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click Attachment Handling.
  5. To turn off a specific attachment previewer, click Attachment and Document Previewers, clear the check box for a previewer that you want to turn off, and then click OK.
    Here, a sighted person said that there are some checkboxes for each list item.
    NVDA speech does not show the element information.

Hi,
Confirmed in Outlook 2013.
Technical: @mick, I think we may need to narrow down which list items constitutes an auto-complete entry, as the items the poster talks about are recognized as such.
Thanks.

Replying to nvdakor:
It is true that this should not be classed as an AutoCompleteListItem. However, as far as I can tel, this will not improve the accessibility of these items, as both IAccessible and UIA implementations of these items do not expose state_checked when checked. Perhaps we can do something with color... or perhaps MS can fix it.

Might the implementation of this list be similar to the wx check listbox is implemented? CC @michaelDCurran @josephsl
