How to subscribe to Newsgroups in Outlook 2000
Hello all!
I subscribed to some Newsgroups many years ago through Outlook Express and I continue to subscribe to new Newsgroups through it. But I have not been able do this from within Outlook? How does one do that? Even this message is being posted through Outlook Express? Basharat.

There are some third party add-ins you can use (Newshound is one of them) but IMHO they are not half as good as a dedicated news reader...

How does one do that? Even this message is being posted through Outlook Express? Basharat. Newsgroups require NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol). No version of Outlook supports NNTP. At best (or worst), you can add a News button to the toolbar in versions 2003 and 2007 of Outlook (but that has you load Outlook to have it then load Outlook Express which does understand NNTP). In Outlook 2002, you could add the "Go" button but navigating it was just one click different than using the View - Go menu (which also calls Outlook Express). Since Outlook Express is getting called to handle NNTP, why not just start Outlook Express instead of having to load Outlook to have it call Outlook Express? You can even add a shortcut in the QuickLaunch or other toolbar in the Windows taskbar to start Outlook Express. Newshound is the only add-on (http://shorelinesoftware.com/) that I know of that will add NNTP support to Outlook. Do you really need to pay $30 when Outlook Express, Thunderbird, and many other NNTP clients are free?
