I am thinking of installing Outlook as I have had some issues forwarding
mail from OE6 which have GIFs and had no trouble forwarding the same
mail from my Outlook account at work. I understand that if I install
Outlook I will still be able to access the Newsgroups, from what I
understand Outlook will launch OE to read the Newsgroups. Does this
then mean that I have to keep OE6 installed so that it can do this?

Yes, Outlook requires OE to be installed, not for news groups, but for the
presence of shared code. If removed, Outlook will throw errors.

Thank you for your reply. I presume then that all I have to do is
install Outlook and not do anything with OE it will sort itself out? I
understand that there is a set way of importing my Address Book, which I
think I do from Outlook and I export email messages from OE6.

Does this also apply for Outlook versions after 2000?

Sure does.

And which components, besides the news functionality, are shared by
Outlook 2002/2003 and Outlook Express?

The news functionality isn't shared at all, since Outlook doesn't "do" news.
The HTML rendering is shared, I believe, and there might be other parts.
