Outlook has always used Outlook Express to read news. Nothing different
here.

You are mistaken. Outlook is not and never has been a newsreader. They like
to fool you by launching Outlook Express with a "Microsoft Outlook
Newsreader" titlebar.

The News button in Outlook opens Outlook Express with only the news stub.
If you look at Help-About in the news reader, it always read Outlook
Express. Outlook never had a news reader and still does not in Outlook
2007. And probably never will.
