- Add OWA URL parsing/rewrite logic in the extension’s background script when copying the current tab URL.
- Bump the extension version to
1.1and reformatmanifest.jsonfor readability.

When using Outlook Web (OWA) as Web App and you're reading a specific mail, the current URL in the browser is not what you can use to navigate to that mail later (thanks Microsoft ...) This uses the solution found in https://www.reddit.com/r/Outlook/comments/dqcewq/outlook_link_to_specific_email/ to use the mail
ItemIdto construct a proper URL and use that instead of the original one.
